Inside the world’s largest cruise ships that function as floating resorts

A recent roundup highlights five of the biggest cruise liners, detailing their extensive onboard attractions and amenities.

Reader’s Digest compiled a list of five mega-cruise ships that serve as floating resorts. Royal Caribbean’s Wonder of the Seas and Symphony of the Seas both measure 1,188 feet and accommodate over 6,600 passengers, featuring zip lines, dry slides, and neighborhood-style layouts. MSC’s World Europa, at 1,093 feet, boasts the longest dry slide at sea and a department store.

P&O Cruises’ Arvia, 1,130 feet long, emphasizes family clubs, wellness facilities, and varied entertainment options. Carnival’s Celebration, also 1,130 feet, includes the first roller coaster on a ship and themed water parks. Across all vessels, the emphasis is on providing a full vacation experience without needing to disembark.
