It is set to sail the Caribbean in January 2024.
Can you see yourself on any water transportation vessel after what happened with OceanGate?
We're not certain we can be that confident after it all, but it is worth mentioning that we do love World Firsts.
And this world's largest cruise ship does seem like a dream.
"A vessel that’s set to be the world’s biggest cruise ship has completed construction at a shipyard in Finland and has made its first foray into open water for sea trials ahead of likely delivery in October this year." (CNN)
The mammoth vessel is set to sail the seas in January 2024. It will comfortably house around 5,610 passengers and 2,350 crew.
"The boat’s piece de resistance will be the world’s largest waterpark at sea. Named Category 6, it’ll feature six record-breaking water slides, but guests who want a more leisurely experience can also relax in the boat’s seven pools and nine whirlpools." (CNN)
It will have a massive twenty decks and eight neighbourhoods to explore.

Royal Caribbean International president and chief executive Michael Bayley said: "We are positioning it as the ultimate family vacation and when you step back and look at all the energy and time that has gone into creating this ship it is mind-blowing." (CNN)
The iconic ship made its first sea trial last week and all seems to be in order.
So, the big question is, are you interested in sailing the seas on the world's largest cruise ship?
