The "Harmony of the Seas," the world's largest cruise ship, will soon set sail from its shipyard in western France, and join the American-based Royal Caribbean International.
The "Harmony of the Seas," a 120,000 ton vessel, has been making sea trials from the St. Nazaire shipyard which was also the builder of the fabled French pre-war liner Normandie as well as the more recent Queen Mary II.
St. Nazaire's STX shipyard started construction on the $1 billion liner in 2013.
"Harmony of the Seas" is 362 meters in length (1,187 ft) and thus is longer than the Titanic.
Stated another way, standing vertically, the new cruise vessel is 50 meters taller than the Eiffel Tower.
The new ship should join the Royal Caribbean fleet in a few months.
Harmony of the Seas is the world's largest and most innovative cruise ship.
