World's largest cruise ship, Harmony of the Seas, sails on inaugural trip
History was recorded on Sunday, June 5, 2016 in Barcelona, Spain when the biggest and most luxurious cruise ship in the world, the popular Harmony of the Seas, made its inaugural sailing. A feat in the global circle of cruise tourism development, the ship made its voyage to Barcelona with as many as at least 4,500 guests on board.
The cruise ship, built by the French and regarded as a ‘wonderful engineering feat of the century,’ made its way to the home of Barcelona Football Club in Spain from the Southampton Port in the United Kingdom before reaching its destination, billed as its summer base for its Mediterranean journeys, on Sunday.
Apart from being the widest cruise ship ever built with the capacity to carry 6,780 guests, the wonder of a ship is also taller than the Eiffel Tower while boasting more than 2,500 staterooms, 20 dining venues, 23 swimming pools and a park with more than 10,000 plants and 50 trees.
Before arriving in Barcelona, the Harmony of the Seas, built at a cost of more than $1bn in the course of over three years, docked in Vigo in the northwest and at Malaga, dwarfing the small Mediterranean port.
Harmony of the Seas, regarded as being in a world of luxury of its own, parades not only the finest sophistication in fittings and fixture, but ensures that every item on board is of standard. It is the 25th ship to join the Royal Caribbean International fleet.
Having taken a total of 2,500 workers to build at the STX France ship yard in Saint-Nazaire and some 10 million work hours, work on the enormous vessel began 32 months ago in 2013.
The Harmony of the Seas, simply a wonder to behold with the impressive and largely irresistible array of luxury facilities, is a grand investment not just in the arena of tourism but as far as human development goes in recent times.
