At 361m in length, Harmony of the Seas is longer than both the Eiffel Tower and Burj Al Arab. It spans 16 decks, weighs 227,000 tonnes and can house 5,497 guests; in short, this Royal Caribbean’s latest Oasis-Class ship, is more of a floating city than a luxury cruise liner.

Harmony of the Seas, which is not only the biggest ship in the world but also one of the most luxurious; will be making its maiden voyage this June on a western Mediterranean itinerary.

Among its spectacular features is “The Ultimate Abyss”, which is the tallest slide on the high seas and will challenge the nerve of even the most daring of guests. In addition, it has a trio of water slides’ that are bound to thrill water-babies of all ages.

It also has the first zip lines at sea, where you can take part in an exhilarating ride across an open-air atrium suspended above the breathtaking neighborhood of the boardwalk with its family friendly activities, eateries and shops. Here, the young (and the young-at-heart) can ride on the full-size carousel, before replenishing at one of the many cafes and restaurants found here which include international brands.

Kids will also have a lot to keep them entertained; including DreamWorks characters. Adventure Ocean Youth Program will also offer those aged between three and eleven years an entertaining line-up of activities and games throughout the duration of their stay.

If you prefer your holidays a little bit less adrenaline-filled, then rest assured Harmony of the Seas will offer you plenty of relaxation. You can sit back and soak up the sun around one of the four pools or inside the adults-only solarium with its serene whirlpools. Pamper yourself at the VitalitySM Spa with its fitness center and extensive number of treatment rooms – the largest collection at sea.

As the sun sets, the ship will come alive. You can either take a stroll through Central Park with its bustling al fresco piazza before stopping in one of the many signature restaurants or choose to have a sundowner.

Before the evening is over, Harmony of the Seas will pull back the curtain on Broadway’s hit musical Grease in the spectacular Royal Theater. And just when you thought you’d seen it all; prepare to be dazzled by the theatrical grace of world-class skaters in one of two extraordinary ice shows.

Since you will probably be too tired from the day’s adventures, there will be nothing better than returning to the comfort of your private stateroom that exudes luxury and comfort, with spectacular views of the emerald sea.

On board this floating city, you’ll find everything you’ve ever wanted from a cruise holiday. You’ll leave with stories to tell, adventures to share and inspiration; lots of it. Harmony of the Sees is a destination in itself, a cruise that’s unlike anything else at sea.
