Ship Photos of the Day – Largest Cruise Ship Ever Built Begins Sea Trials
The largest cruise ship ever constructed departed the STX France Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France on Thursday for its first set of sea trials.
The Harmony of the Seas is the third ship in Royal Caribbean’s Oasis-class. At 227,700 GRT, the cruise ship will probably be simply barely bigger than her two sister ships Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas, which at 225,282 GRT are at the moment the most important cruise ships on this planet.
Harmony of the Seas is due again on the shipyard on Sunday following three days of trials meant to check the ship’s energy and propulsion. The sea trials contain some 500 engineers and technicians, as representatives from the classification society DNV GL.
Harmony of the Seas is predicted to make its maiden voyage from Europe in May 2016. The ship is designed to hold a complete of 6,410 passengers and a pair of,300 crew.
