An Overview of the 10 Largest Cruise Ships in the World



Modern cruise ships are like small cities on the sea. Here you can find anything you wish for. Dreamlines presents the 10 biggest cruise ships. # 10 Norwegian Breakaway In 2013, the Norwegian Breakaway, the largest ever ship built in Germany, left the Meyer Werft shipyard ,in Papenburg. The 324 m long and 40 meter wide ship, can accommodate about 4000 passengers on board, and has a total of 2,015 cabins and suites. # 9 Norwegian Getaway The Getaway and Breakaway are nearly identical twins. The point of difference is the colourful mermaid painted on its hull. If you have a cabin at the stern of the vessel, you will have to walk 324 metres to reach the bar. With 18 decks for 4000 passengers, it outshines some skyscrapers. # 8 Queen Mary The Queen Mary enchants with its elegantly curved bow and the classic narrow hull. She also has a cult status: When the 345 meter long and 41 meter wide, "Queen of the Seas" started off 10 years ago in Hamburg, the enthusiasm was massive. More than 250,000 people flocked to the Elbe to welcome the largest ship in the world. # 7 Independence of the Seas With space for 3,600 passengers and 1,360 crew members, the Independence of the Seas can accommodate a 1000 more people than the Queen Mary II. They can look forward to modern facilities such as the 950 m² Casino Royale with 273 slot machines and 13 gaming tables. # 6 Liberty of the Seas The Liberty of the Seas is the second ship of the spectacular Freedom Class of Royal Caribbean International. Whoever wanders around the shopping mall that spreads over four decks, the theatre, with seats for more than 1000 people, and the 13 metre-high climbing wall at the chimney, will cover quite a distance, since this mega liner is 339 metres long and 56 metres wide. The ship was put into service in 2007 and cost around 550 million euros. # 5 Freedom of the Seas With a total of 15 decks the Freedom of the Seas can accommodate around 3600 guests in 1800 cabins. Here guests can relax on board while ice-skating, climbing on a three-dimensional wall, surfing or cooling off in the water park or even watching fascinating shows in the theatre. # 4 Norwegian Epic The Norwegian Epic was named in 2010 and has a total of 15 passenger decks which can accommodate 4100 travellers. In addition to the numerous inside and outside balcony cabins, there are additional spa staterooms or suites with direct access to the fitness and spa area. This is why one can call the ship one of the largest spas on the high seas. # 3 Quantum of the Seas Quantum of the Seas is the newest addition to the Royal Caribbean fleet and one of the most modern and innovative ships of our times. This ocean liner not only has the North Star, an observation glass ball that is extended by a long swing arm 90 metres above sea level, but also a skydiving simulator, with which guests can fly like birds. The ship has 18 decks and more than 2000 cabins for about 4180 guests. # 2 Oasis of the Seas The building of the Oasis of the Seas has taken 6 years to complete. But the impressive result you can see for yourselves. On board is ‘Central Park`, which is larger than a football field. With a cost of over 900 million dollars it is one of the most expensive ships that has ever been built. # 1 Allure of the Seas This 16 deck high, cruise liner, differs only in the details from its sister ship ‘Oasis’- and by only 5 centimeters. Thus, the Allure of the Seas with a length of 362 meters and a width of 66, she can be called the world’s largest cruise ship. With space for 5400 passengers, she is actually five times bigger than the famous Titanic. For more information on these cruise ships, visit our website or call us free on 1300 884 022.
