Wonder of the Seas — World’s Largest Cruise Ship — to Sail From Port Canaveral in 2022
MSC Bellissima is home to a thrilling Grand Canyon-themed waterpark with three waterslides—two racing tubes as well as a champagne bowl-style slide.

MSC Seashore also features a gorgeous aft infinity pool—one of the largest at sea—with luxurious submerged sunbeds. The spot is a tranquil adults-only oasis by day, but it comes alive in the evening as the setting for the always-popular Silent Disco.

MSC Virtuosa
Guests can visit the adults-only Zen district for a bit of calm, or the Family district with ten kids’ facilities offering fun for little cruisers and their grownups. The Geneva-based company has been working diligently to expand the fleet and MSC’s newest cruise ship is a whopper of a vessel. Arvia is home to the fleet’s first swim-up bar, complete with plenty of in-water seating, allowing guests to order and enjoy a cocktail right in the pool. Like her sister, this ship also features a Sky Dome over the pool area—but Arvia‘s is retractable to allow for alfresco swimming, dining, and entertainment when the weather is right.

An open-air balcony at the back of the ship has a glass floor to create the sensation of flying over water. Return to the Boardwalk after dark for more dare-devil stunts, this time courtesy of the high divers in the AquaTheatre who plunge head first from a platform 60ft above the pool. It is brilliant, as is the ice show, and all the more incredible when you remember you are on a ship. That is easy to forget as most of time you can’t even feel this leviathan moving. If you’re not a cruiser, or are just after a fun holiday at sea, this is the ship for you.
MSC Euribia, MSC Cruises
Family-friendly Iona features the enclosed SkyDome pool area, kids’ splash zone, and a shallow pool for little cruisers. Hosted by specially-trained Reef Rangers, the Reef kids’ club is a fun environment for children aged 2-17, open from early morning until late. Celebration pays homage to her homeport of Miami with the 820 Biscayne zone, named after the cruise line’s first headquarters. The zone will feature the Deco Deli and 820 Bar, serving up Cuban sandwiches and tropical drinks.
Delivered in 2017, the ship's ranking used to be much higher but has been displaced over the years with newer, bigger cruise ships. Central Park, an open-air neighbourhood filled with live plants, is also back on the world's largest cruise ship and, perhaps unsurprisingly, is bigger than ever. Currently the second largest cruise ship in the world, Wonder of the Seas will be demoted to third after Utopia of the Seas launches in July 2024. MSC Grandiosa is a part of the Meraviglia Plus-class, which currently has five sailing ships. Onboard, there are 18 decks (15 of which are passenger-accessible) and 2,405 staterooms onboard. AIDA Cruises AIDAnova is the first launched in the Excellence-class, which also has sister ship AIDAcosma.
It has 17 passenger decks, 2,641 staterooms, and capacity for up to 6,465 passengers and 1,745 crew members. Other notable features include distinct themed districts, a quiet Zen zone with an adults-only pool, a family zone with bumper cars and rollerblading, and the fleet’s largest onboard water park. Younger cruisers will find a twisty, stainless steel tunnel slide towering 11 decks high at the center of the ship. Luna Park Studio, the ship’s 300-seat multifunction entertainment venue, can accommodate almost any performance or event. Another Oasis-class ship, Royal Caribbean’s Harmony of the Seas set sail in May 2016.
Harmony of the Seas overtakes the other Oasis-class ships just slightly, making her the second largest cruise ship in the world. While on board, passengers can check out 17 restaurants along with 20 bars and lounges, party the night away at the Beach Club, and take in live performances at the ship’s 360-degree theater, the Theatrium. When it’s time to relax, head to the Body & Soul Organic Spa, where you can book a massage, spend time in one of the hot tubs or saunas, take a dip in the private pool, and chill out on the private spa sun deck.
It was the first ship to be awarded the "Blauer Engel," which is a German environmental label given to green-friendly products and services. Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas made its maiden voyage in December 2010. Allure of the Seas has 18 total decks, 16 of which are guest-accessible, and 2,742 staterooms (including 1,796 balcony suites). It made its maiden voyage in 2009, offering 18 total decks (16 guest decks) along with 2,801 staterooms, almost 2,000 of which have balconies. Cruise Hive was established back in 2008 and among the earliest blogs in the industry.
