While luxurious at the time, they definitely don’t compare to Symphony of the Sea’s 40-foot-long surfing simulator and 10-story slide. In terms of amenities, Titanic’s squash court and smoking rooms were popular among its guests, but one of the most notable features was the ship’s grand staircase, which featured wrought iron and a glass dome with a large chandelier above it. At 25 MPH, Titanic’s max speed is 1 MPH faster than Symphony of the Seas. Surprisingly, the only area that Titanic has Symphony of the Seas beat is speed, but not by much. When we compare the ship’s capacity to the Titanic, Symphony of the Seas can hold 5,542 more people than the Titanic. Oh, and that’s not to mention the 2,759 staterooms and 24 guest elevators. Those neighborhoods host 26 lounges and bars, 9 Jacuzzis, spas, swimming pools, restaurants, a laser tag arena, ice skating, theaters and more than 12,000 trees and plants. Symphony of the Seas has a capacity of 8,880, including 6,680 passengers and 2,200 crew members, which may seem like things could get crowded, but considering there are seven neighborhoods inside the ship (yes, seven), there’s plenty of space to stretch out and relax. If we take a peek inside the ship, the numbers continue to amaze. It’s also nearly six times longer than a Boeing 787 passenger jet airplane. At a staggering 1,188 feet, Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of the Seas is as long as the Empire State building without its antennas. With a ship of this size, it’s hard to put things into perspective, but we’ll try our best. In order to fully comprehend the ship’s massive size, we put together this infographic to show how it stacks up against other historic vessels. With 18 decks and seven “neighborhoods,” Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of the Seas is the world’s largest (and newest) cruise ship. But today, a ship that’s twice as high and twice as wide is the new queen of the sea. More than 100 years ago, the Titanic was the largest cruise ship on the water. In addition, the vessels house a surf simulator, the tallest slide at sea, a 10-storey-high zip-line, climbing walls, an ice skating ring and 12,000 live trees and plants.Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of the Seas: The World’s Largest Cruise Ship
The Harmony class features a split superstructure and the cruise line’s neighborhood concept of seven districts themed areas.
However, whereas the Harmony of the Seas has a gross tonnage (GT) of 227,000 and can accommodate 6780 passengers and 2100 crew, the Wonder of the Seas sets a new record with a GT of 230,000 and accommodation for 6988 passengers and 2300 crew. The vessels have sixteen decks, a length overall of 362 metres, a breadth of 66 metres and a draught of 9.1 metres. The vessel will continue these cruises through April before heading to Barcelona, Spain, and Rome for a summer in the Mediterranean. The vessel departed for its first cruise from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for a seven-night Caribbean cruise on March 4. The Wonder of the Seas was delivered to Royal Caribbean on 27 January and arrived in the US on 20 February.
The other two are the Harmony of the Seas delivered in 2016 and the Symphony of the Seas delivered in 2018. The Wonder of the Seas is one of three cruise ships of the Harmony class built for Royal Caribbean by Chantiers de L’Atlantique in Saint-Nazaire. At 362 metres and with a GT of 230,000, the Wonder of the Seas now counts as the world’s largest cruise ship. The latest addition to Royal Caribbean’s fleet of cruise ships has set sail for its first cruise.
