The previous year, the Internet was filled with cheerful videos highlighting the top 10 cruise ships capable of making any holiday a fairytale or an exciting cruise liner about to launch. What do they have in all they share? They were all constructed in 2013 when this was the first time anyone had imagined that the entire cruise industry would be under the order of no sail for the next year and that jobs aboard cruise ships at sea would be eliminated all over the globe.
The most renowned cruise company, Carnival Corporation, pointed out in its report for 2023 that “We have never previously experienced a complete cessation of our cruising operations.” In reality, cruise lines have had to bear the enormous cost of repatriation for passengers, aid quarantined staff and guests, and still face legal action from employees and customers.
About Largest Ships in the World
Imagine a massive boat that can carry complete floating structures or accommodate every person in the city and favor guests with an unforgettable holiday. Imagine ships that connect different countries and power businesses across the globe, transporting enormous crude oil tanks or iron ore mountains. These vessels are crucial for developing the current maritime environment, whether utilized for mining resources in the sea or transporting items across the oceans.
Icon of the Seas
Icon of the Seas sailed from the Port of Miami in January 2024. LNG powers its liquefied natural gas (LNG), and it is the first ship in the Icon Class of the Royal Caribbean.

Offering electrifying amenities for everyone of every one of all ages, Icon of the Seas shines with a Class 6 Waterpark, which is the biggest on the sea, with six water slides that set records, including the highest slide, Frightening Bolt, along with as the waterslide that freefalls, that is the Pressure Drop, which is the first to be seen on the cruise. If you are a fan of pools, Icon of the Seas has Royal Bay, the largest swimming pool on the sea. It offers amenities that satisfy every taste, including top-of-the-line nightlife and spectacular performances, all rolled up into one stunning vessel.
Symphony of the Seas
Symphony of the Seas is the 25th and fourth Oasis-class cruise ship built by Royal Caribbean. The boat is about the same size as its sister ships, which were built before, which makes it the third giant cruise ship.
Symphony of the Seas was constructed at the former STX France shipyard and handed over to cruise lines on March 23, 2018. The ship left on its first memorable preview sail on March 31, 2023.
The maiden voyage’s first official debut was scheduled for April 7, 20, and 18 for a seven-night Mediterranean journey departing from Barcelona, Spain. Symphony of the Seas has operated out of PortMiami, Florida, since November 10, 2023.

Wonder of the Seas
An absolute marvel, the most powerful ship on the planet delights its guests each week with an array of entertainment, activities, meals, and unforgettable memories. Royal Caribbean’s Wonder of the Seas, an Oasis-class vessel that’s the size of a city on the sea with sixteen guest decks, 2204 crew members representing every corner of the world, as well as more than 10 bars as well as twenty dining options, of which nine are free. It is interesting that, while Wonder is the Icon of the Seas and will soon be the giant cruise ship, Wonder will have more rooms than its bigger sister, which is a staggering 28867.
The park also has an actual carousel boardwalk, a dry slide that turns down ten decks, the surfing simulator, a laser tag area, an ice skating area, and a zipline that runs through the whole interior of the vessel. There are also rooms inside with balconies looking out towards the restaurant and an urban forest resembling Central Park. Wonder of the Seas will soon lose its status as the most luxurious cruise ship on the planet. However, it will only be able to give memorable vacations with low-cost cruises catering to some people.
