Will Wonder of the Seas Be the Biggest Cruise Ship?

By Alice Nichols

The world’s biggest cruise ship, the Wonder of the Seas, is set to sail in 2021. The incredible ship will be an impressive 1,188 feet long and carry up to 8,880 passengers and 2,838 crew members. It will have 18 decks and a total of 2,842 staterooms with balconies.

The Wonder of the Seas is being built by the STX France shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France. The construction cost is estimated at $1.5 billion. This project is part of Royal Caribbean International’s Quantum Ultra Class series of ships which also includes MSC Meraviglia, Harmony of the Seas, and Oasis of the Seas.

The Wonder of the Seas will offer many amenities that cruise passengers have come to expect from luxury cruises such as multiple swimming pools, water slides, a mini golf course, a rock climbing wall, an escape room and robotic bartenders. There will also be numerous restaurants and bars along with entertainment venues like a theater and casino. Royal Caribbean has also promised unique attractions such as an indoor skydiving simulator.

The Wonder of the Seas will certainly be one of the largest cruise ships ever built. It promises to offer a luxurious experience that goes far beyond what other cruise ships can provide. However, there are other even larger cruise ships currently in operation or under construction that may surpass its size such as Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of the Seas (1,188 feet long) and Carnival Cruise Line’s Mardi Gras (1,130 feet long).

For now though it appears that the Wonder of the Seas will be the biggest cruise ship in terms of length when it takes to sea in 2021. Its impressive size combined with its wide range of amenities promises an unforgettable experience for all who board it.

Conclusion: In conclusion, while there are other ships that may surpass its size in terms of length when they are completed or put into operation soon after its launch date in 2021; The Wonder Of The Seas will remain one ahead in being called as ‘the biggest cruise ship’ until then.
