ROYAL Caribbean’s newest vessel, set to launch Apr 2018, will be named Symphony of the Seas and be the largest cruise ship in the world.
At a whopping 230,000 gross registered tons and 362m long, the vessel will offer 28 more staterooms than her newest sister ship Harmony of the Seas.
Symphony of the Seas will include many of the features on Harmony of the Seas, including the seven-neighbourhood concept, the Bionic Bar, Broadway-calibre entertainment, the AquaTheater, the Perfect Storm trio of waterslides, and the tallest slide at sea.
The company is staying tight-lipped on the “new features and amenities” promised for the vessel, promoting it as the “most adventure filled ship”.
Symphony of the Seas will spend her inaugural season exploring the destinations of the Mediterranean, calling on ports in Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca, Spain; Florence/Pisa, Rome and Naples, Italy and Provence, France.
She will then arrive in Miami in early Nov to begin seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries on 17 Nov from the “Crown of Miami”, Terminal A.
Yesterday Royal Caribbean broke ground on the new PortMiami Terminal A, which upon completion will spread across 15,794m2 and is being touted as “the most innovative cruise facility in the US”.
It is anticipated that Royal Caribbean will generate at least 1.8 million passenger moves at PortMiami – 30% of the port’s projected passenger traffic.
Bookings are now open for Symphony of the Seas’ inaugural year of Europe and Caribbean itineraries.
