1. Harmony of the Seas | Length 362 m

Harmony of the Seas(“Harmony of the Seas”) is the largest cruise ship in the world today. The length of the vessel is 362 meters and the width is 66 meters, which puts it in first place. Construction of the watercraft began in 2012, and in 2015 it was launched. Construction of Harmony of the Seas cost Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. More than 1 billion dollars. The giant ship made its first cruise on May 16, 2016. The passenger capacity of the liner is designed for 8,200 people including crew. The liner is divided into seven thematic sections: Central Park, Boardwalk, Royal Promenade, pool and gym area, Spa and fitness, entertainment area and children's area.

What else to see:

Imagine going on a free cruise on the largest ship in the world. There is a whole metropolis of entertainment and services inside, and everything is free. Fantastic? Yes. But one day, when a parade of planets takes place, the company launches a new ship, this fairy tale becomes reality. Tour operators, the media and everyone who will subsequently sell trips to this liner are invited to the first flight.

Harmony of the Seas is by far the largest cruise ship with a capacity of 8,200 people, of which 2,200 are crew. The height of the ship is comparable to the height of a 20-story building. The length is 362 meters, which exceeds the length of Red Square in Moscow. The construction of the liner cost Royal Caribbean more than 1,000,000,000 euros.

But the most impressive thing is not the measurements, but the filling of the liner - Helipad, swimming pools, water slides, a casino, a theater, an ice skating rink, a garden with 12 thousand different plants and much, much more. There is even a Bionic bar on board, where robots work as waiters. Let's see what it looks like inside...

General plans of the liner. This is a really huge thing, a giant Noah’s Ark with a displacement of 227,500 tons:

We left the port of Barcelona. Two fire ships saw us off: in honor of the first voyage, they staged a “salute” of water cannons:

The first place you go on a cruise is, of course, your cabin. I won’t give the footage, I’ll just mention that my cabin had a separate dressing room:

Common areas of the ship. On the right in the photo is a giant head sculpture that rotates in layers in different directions:

7.

There are pedestrian streets on board. There is a complete feeling that it is not a ship that has gone out to sea, but a piece of the mainland. There are a lot of people. After a number of incidents on cruises, Royal Caribbean installed an advanced facial recognition system that can, if necessary, identify each passenger in a crowd:

Many sculptures and works of modern art:

Let's go up to the upper decks. There are two types of decks - indoor, comfortable in windy weather, and outdoor:

There are 16 decks on board. 6 main pools and 10 giant Jacuzzis:

The upper deck is replete with public areas:

Plenty of sunbeds. Pay attention to the slides behind the pool:

On the other side of the golf course:

Waves for surfing:

Rope crossing at seven floors:

There is a huge aqua theater at the stern of the ship. There are two pipes leading down from the upper deck, through which you can go down with your clothes on. It feels very fast, very scary and very dark. You overcome almost 30 meters of height in 13 seconds, making two 360-degree turns along the way:

17.

To the right of the aquatheater is a pedestrian area called Central Park:

Naturally, there is a gym, and it is gigantic. Lots of training equipment and equipment:

20.

There are 20 restaurants on board Harmony of the Seas. The main one occupies three floors, where daily dinners are held:

22.

And this is the same Bionic bar where robots work. The mechanical arms have 30 alcohol components in their arsenal. The range of cocktails they can make is endless. One cocktail takes 30 seconds. Looks fantastic:

Another memorable restaurant is called “Wonderland” and is based on the famous work of Lewis Carroll:

Hall decoration:

Instead of a menu, they bring an empty picture that needs to be painted with water. After these manipulations, words appear. It might seem like a small thing, but it leaves a lasting impression:

27.

Molecular cuisine restaurant. The dish is called “Vegetable Garden”, and the “ground” is made from bread with the addition of cuttlefish ink:

28.

A dessert made from a ball that is poured over hot chocolate. After a minute, the ball melts, revealing the ice cream inside. Delicious:

29.

Every week, the liner's restaurants consume 4,500 kg of chicken and almost 7,000 kg of beef. There are a total of 4,900 seats on board in restaurants and bars. The assortment of desserts again confused me:

30.

Central Park has dozens of stores to suit every budget:

31.

You won't be bored in the evening. Rather, on the contrary, you will need to run from one view to another:

32.

At the theater there is a Broadway production of “Grease”. The film of the same name, based on this musical, made Travolta a star already in 1978:

33.

Ice show. Just pay attention to the quality of the costumes that were prepared for the performance.
