When I set out to write this article about the largest ships in the world, I immediately thought of the Harmony of the Seas, the cruise ship that left behind the Allure of the Seas and the Oasis of the Seas, all of the Royal Caribbean, but although you I am going to give information about them, I also want to make it clear that in reality, The largest ship in the world is Maersk's Triple-E, a container ship.
But let's go back to Harmony of the Seas and its characteristics. It has a gross weight of 226.963 tonnes and took 32 months to build at the Stx France shipyard.
The largest cruise ship in the world is divided into 7 neighborhoods, Central Park, Boardwalk, Royal Promenade, Pools and Sports Zone, Vitality at Sea Spa and Fitness Center, Entertainment Place and Youth Zone along its 18 decks. It can accommodate up to 6.780 passengers, 2.100 crew members, in 2.747 cabins. If you want to have more details about this incredible boat you can consult this article.
The Sailing Yacht A, is since last October the largest private sailboat in the world. And I say since last October, because although it still remains to be delivered at the beginning of 2017, it has already sailed. It measures 142,8 meters in length, by 25 in beam, to be propelled by the wind, 90-meter masts have been incorporated capable of supporting 3.700 square meters of sail area.. It belongs to the Russian magnate Andrey Melnichenko and is designed by Philippe Starck. More or less the ship has cost between 300 and 450 million euros and includes eight decks, one of them with a helipad.
As for the yachts, very soon the 180-meter long Azzam, costing 600 million dollars, will soon be overtaken by Project 222, a new superyacht commissioned by a billionaire whose identity is unknown, which will measure 222 meters long and cost more than a billion dollars.
