• Royal Caribbean's 228,081-ton Symphony of the Seas is the world's largest cruise ship.
• It debuted in March, and will spend the summer in Europe before coming to the US in November.

In March, the cruise line debuted the world's largest cruise ship, the 228,081-ton Symphony of the Seas. The ship follows the previous record holder, Royal Caribbean's 226,963-ton Harmony of the Seas.

At 1,188 feet long and over 215 feet wide, the Symphony of the Seas has a lot to offer. The ship's 22 restaurants, 42 bars and lounges, theaters, ice rink, and zip line are just a fraction of the attractions available to passengers.
