We welcome to Barcelona the biggest cruise ship ever built, Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of the Seas.
Taking the occasion, we have elaborated a list of vessels that have excelled in its category.

Largest passenger ship: Symphony of the Seas

MS Symphony of the Seas is an Oasis-class cruise ship owned and operated by Royal Caribbean International. As of 9 June 2017, she is the largest passenger ship ever to be constructed by gross tonnage, at 228,021 GT, surpassing her sister Harmony of the Seas.

Symphony of the Seas measures 1,188 feet (362 m) in length and has a gross tonnage of 228,081 across 18 decks. She will be able to accommodate 5,518 passengers at double occupancy up to a maximum capacity of 6,680 passengers, as well as a 2,200-person crew.
