Largest Cruise 세계 최대의 크루즈 선박

Website of Oasis of Seas

Royal Caribbean’s newest cruise ship, the Allure of the Seas, is not just big. It is the biggest cruise ship in the world, and as such it crashes magnificently against the tide of the zeitgeist: There is very little sustainable, small-batch, or boutique about it. The ship weighs 225,000 gross tons, consumes 4.7 million pounds of fresh water per day, and enjoys 1.6 million square feet of air conditioned space. At 1,187 feet long, the Allure of the Seas is precisely five centimeters longer than its sister ship, launched in 2009, the paradoxically-named Oasis of the Seas.

The motto on board the Allure, “The Nation of Why Not,’” could have been dreamed up by the marketing team at Countrywide. But it is not a hollow statement. There is an ice skating rink, a “Central Park” with exactly 12,175 plants and piped-in birdsong, a bar that doubles as an elevator, a giant pool that’s nearly 20 feet deep, and staterooms as large as 2,000 square feet.
