Royal Caribbean Unveils Details on its New Ship, the World’s Largest
Royal Caribbean International has shared additional details on its new ship, Wonder of the Seas, which will be the world’s largest cruise ship when it launches.
In a video shared on Facebook by Royal Caribbean president and CEO Michael Bayley, Wonder of the Seas—currently under construction in Saint-Nazaire, France—is the fifth ship in the Royal Caribbean’s Oasis Class; it will be nearly 1,200 feet long, 210 feet wide and almost 237,000 gross tons. That’s enough space for 18 decks and 2,867 staterooms that accommodate up to 5,734 guests.
Guests can expect signature Oasis Class features, as well as a slew of new experiences. Some highlights, according to the video, are the Solarium, which is now fully enclosed to climatize the space; the AquaTheater entertainment venue at the rear of the ship, which will have a partial shelter for cooler temperatures; and the Ultimate Abyss, a three-story waterslide touted as the tallest at sea.
