The world's largest cruise ship, owned by Royal Caribbean, has left the Meyer Turku shipyard after 900 days of design & construction.

She will now head for the east coast of the US via Cadiz, where she’ll receive the finishing touches.

The 248,655 gross tonnage vessel will offer 7,600 maximum passenger capacity (served by a crew of 2,350) across 20 decks for cruises in the Caribbean out of the Port of Miami as of early 2024.

The 350 by 50 m cruiser has dual-fuel (liquefied natural gas) engines from Wärtsilä. It also features fuel cells for producing electricity & fresh water and a waste-to-energy plant.

Hull assembly of the series' second ship, Star of the Seas, will commence at Meyer Turku this December.
