Keep checking back! We are adding new photos as soon as we get them.
With her arrival, it marks the momentous occasion of her beginning service, and that has a lot of Royal Caribbean fans very excited.
Intricately built with more than 500,000 individual parts, Harmony measures 362 meters (1,188 feet), nearly four football (soccer) fields long, and encompasses 226,963 gross registered tons.
While Harmony of the Seas is Royal Caribbean's third Oasis-class cruise ship, she does feature a number of innovations unique to her. The Ultimate Abyss is the the tallest slide at sea, with a 10-story plunge; guests can have cocktails created by robot bartenders at The Bionic Bar; virtual balconies with real-time views of the destination and VOOM high speed internet. These are just a few of the many impressive features Harmony of the Seas offers.
Harmony of the Seas will sail from Southampton, U.K. on a series of short getaways to Northern Europe before embarking on her maiden cruise on May 29, arriving in Barcelona, Spain on June 5. The unparalleled cruise ship and her 2,100 dedicated crew members then will officially launch her inaugural summer season with the first of 34 seven-night western Mediterranean sailings on June 7.
In November 2016, Harmony will arrive at her homeport of Port Everglades, Fort Lauderdale, Fla., from where she will offer seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean sailings. The newest member of the fleet will join sister ships Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas, homeported in Port Canaveral and Port Everglades respectively, on the east coast of Florida.
