The largest cruise ship. Top largest ships in the world Ocean passenger liners

Royal Caribbean International has commissioned Finnish shipbuilders to build a completely new class of passenger liners that will be able to hold the palm for many years to come. This is how the cruise ship Oasis of the Seas", which was launched as the largest passenger ship in the world on October 28, 2009. In addition, the liner won first place in another category, as the most expensive ship on the planet. $1.24 billion was spent on its construction; the average cost of keeping such a vessel in port will cost its owners $230,000.

The new Genesis class ships, the first-born Oasis of the Seas and the already under construction Allure of the Seas, surpassed their predecessor Freedom of the Seas and became 21 m longer, 8.5 m wider and almost 43 percent heavier. .

The passenger ships of the Genesis project have become truly remarkable liners. This bold design, and a lot of innovations and technological advances in amenities for passengers, all this will now help attract new customers to unforgettable sea travel.

The Oasis of the Seas liner incorporates all the best that is available on the ships of Royal Caribbean International. Its first voyage on December 5, 2009 will be held on a grand scale, including the most luxurious party at sea. For its guests this is an amazing sea voyage, and for the Oasis of the Seas cruise ship it is a readiness to withstand any threat: hurricanes, giant waves and even contagious diseases.

The ship was built by the shipbuilding company STX Europe specifically for Royal Caribbean International; the construction of the Oasis of the Seas cost £855 million. The length of the ship is 361 meters, width is 66, and its highest point rises 72 meters above the water surface. . The liner's displacement is 225 thousand tons. Oasis is 40% larger than any other cruise ship in the world. The ship, five times the size of the Titanic, can accommodate 6,360 passengers and 2,160 crew on sixteen decks in 2,704 cabins. By the way, the new liner is 2 times larger than the previous record holder - Queen Mary II.

The vessel is equipped with 6 Wärtsilä engines - three 12-cylinder and three 16-cylinder. Together, its power plants generate a power of 96 MW, which allows the ship to reach speeds of up to 22.6 maritime knots. The ship's new owners were very surprised to learn that the Oasis had four more cabins than originally planned.

New safety measures and the design of completely new features for cruising have made Oasis of the Seas one of the most anticipated cruise ships in history. The ship has so-called telescopic pipes, which can be reduced if it is necessary to sail under the bridge. The world's largest cruise ship, Oasis of the Seas, had to be partially dismantled so it could pass under Denmark's Great Belt Bridge. But even after the height of the pipes was reduced, the distance between the ship and the construction structure was less than half a meter. For safety reasons, traffic on the bridge was blocked for 15 minutes. Hundreds of people gathered on both sides of the river to watch the brightly lit cruise ship, which rises above the water like a 20-story building.

There is a lot of entertainment here, both for ordinary people and for millionaires. The ship is equipped with a water amphitheater, a carousel (made "life-size"), a floating park, an ice skating rink, a golf course, 4 swimming pools, which required a total of 2300 tons of water, volleyball and basketball courts, a climbing wall and a children's area with theme parks and children's science labs. Among other things, it has 10 spa baths and surfing simulators. The ship is so large that it is divided into “districts” with special themes, including a tropical area with palm trees and wines. In total, 12 thousand plants and 56 trees were planted on the ship - this is the world's first park on a ship with an area of 2000 square meters. m, which became a kind of analogue of “Central” Park in New York. Therefore, its passengers can relax in the park in the shade of real trees, listen to Broadway musicals and watch an ice show.

A 750-seat outdoor amphitheater is located aft and is modeled after an ancient Greek amphitheater. The indoor theater, located in another part of the ship, can accommodate 1,300 guests. A two-week cruise on the miracle ship Oasis of the Seas will cost a fairly modest amount: from £1,300 for a place in the cheapest cabin. Its sister ship, Allure of the Seas, is scheduled for completion in late 2010.

Passengers like to celebrate all the time, but if the cruise is “premium class”, and almost all the people are wealthy, then on board the ship there should be about 20,000 bottles of champagne, more than 14,000 kg of meat products, 44,000 fresh eggs, 6,600 kg of salad, 3,000 kg of onions, 22,000 kg of potatoes and this is only a small part of the food supply.

After completion of loading, the cruise ship "Oasis of the Seas" sets off on its first cruise voyage. And if you forgot something, then, alas, it’s too late to correct the mistakes. The liner left the port of Everglades and the cruise began.

Doctors on the Oasis of the Seas cruise ship are hoping to avoid another type of natural disaster. If at least two people with a viral disease board the ship, it will spread instantly, since everyone is in a confined space. The liner is equipped with disinfectants in all public places, especially before meals.

Cruises on a ship usually guarantee first-class food 24 hours a day. Especially during holiday cruises, when the ship’s staff throws a real feast on board the ship. The restaurants serve the most exquisite dishes.

And waste disposal is the most important part of the internal structure of the ship. The Oasis of the Seas has its own waste treatment plant, where all waste is carefully sorted. Tin cans are pressed, glass is broken to prepare for recycling, and all other solid waste is stored until it can be dumped at the nearest port because the Oasis of the Seas is an environmentally friendly ship.

More than three hundred cooks work on board the ship. It's in the galley that $2 million worth of food is found. Due to strict hygiene regulations, the galley is prohibited for all but registered employees. Every day, about 70,000 main dishes are served on the ship, of which 15,000 are dessert.

The Cruise Director is responsible for all entertainment during the cruise. The most difficult part of his job is to make sure that the guests are satisfied. He plans entertainment, communicates with guests and keeps them in a good mood. There is an own film studio on board. Its employees film daily material on board the ship, and then, after editing, broadcast it to the cabins, usually in the evening.

An equally amazing place on the Oasis of the Seas cruise ship is the Royal Promenade, which runs through the center of the ship. There is a unique illuminated transparent elevator here. This place has so many shops and bars that it looks like a small town. There is plenty of entertainment to be had on board the Oasis of the Seas cruise ship.

Traditionally, an artificial wave pool is installed on the upper deck. Its pumps pump up to 112,000 liters of water per minute.

One of the most popular events on the ship is the theater, which seats about 2,000 people. The show on ice also attracts a lot of spectators. To ensure that everything goes without falls, engineers turn on the ship's stabilization system.

February 24, 2010- the Royal Carribean company realized that many people might like the idea of tracking one person to others, and they were right, the new product quickly became very popular

On the largest cruise ship in Oasis world Royal Carribean's of the Seas offers the latest in IT technology, ID bracelets and iPhone mobile phones so that people can find each other in the countless rooms of the giant liner. Wristbands are personal radio frequency identifiers RFID, although they can be not only bracelets, but also badges or clips. WiFi operates throughout the ship, the signal from the bracelet via WiFi goes to the Apple iPhone, equipped with a detailed diagram of the liner, that is, at any time one person can know exactly where another is.

There are almost 1,000 places on the ship where you can access WiFi, and at first the company just wanted to make it so that people could communicate with each other via mobile phones and not only communicate, through the ship’s iPhone you can get this or that information, order a service, etc., but then they realized that the idea of tracking one person to others might appeal to many, and they turned out to be right, the new product quickly became very popular. It is not difficult to guess that parents have become the main consumers of identifiers. The liner is incredibly huge, there are a lot of places where a child can get lost, and this can become a problem not only for parents, but also for the entire crew. Searching for a lost person on a ship is a multi-hour and extremely difficult operation, a general emergency on the ship, and preferably at this time all other passengers should be forced into cabins or public areas.

At first, Oasis of the Seas offered badges as an identifier, but then they went further and now offer bracelets, which are much more convenient, since they can serve as a kind of pagers. If you send a signal from the iPhone, the bracelet begins to vibrate, and its owner will understand that they are looking for him. If this is a child, then fine, but teenagers are unlikely to like this kind of IT surveillance. The young man met a girl at a disco and retired with her to a darker and more secluded place, fortunately there are plenty of such places on a giant liner, and the damned bracelets suddenly begin to vibrate, what’s it like? But what a blessing to parents...

The device operates on the basis of the RTLS real-time location system from Ekahau, the signal from the identifier is processed by the DeFi Royal Connect program and sent to the final server, and from there it goes to the iPhone, the location accuracy is 3-3.5 meters. The bracelets are powered by rechargeable batteries; there is more than enough charge for a week-long cruise. After the end of the cruise, the bracelets are returned to the administration and charged again. The reviews, they say at Royal Carribean, are very good so far, but they don’t yet know how and where this new product can be used, in addition to surveillance, they are collecting data. During cruises, users of the electronic spy are interviewed, and it is hoped that the information collected will expand the scope of application of Wi-Fi RFID identifiers.

Some numbers:

5000 kilometers of electrical wiring

12,000 plants, including real trees, but the plants will be installed and planted later, upon arrival of the liner in the USA

7,000 works of art will decorate the ship's premises or be displayed in the halls of 90,000 square meters of carpeting

The construction of the liner took 525,000 square meters of steel - an area equivalent to 72 football fields

Did you know that...

The screws for this giant will be manufactured by a Russian plant - JSC Baltic Plant

JSC Baltic Plant has completed the production of the first propeller designed for the world's largest ocean cruise liner, Genesis. The 360-meter-long vessel is being built by the Norwegian company Aker Yards at its shipyard in Finland. The Baltic Shipyard will equip the aircraft with two propellers. The diameter of each product is more than 6 meters.
Contracts for the manufacture of propellers for the cruise ships Genesis, Super Star Libra, Celebrity and Hall, which are being built at the Finnish shipyard, were concluded by JSC Baltic Plant (St. Petersburg) and FSUE Zvezdochka (Severodvinsk) in 2007. According to the terms of the agreements, the St. Petersburg enterprise will supply the customer with several dozen sets of blades, hubs and fairings, as well as sets of spare parts for propellers, by the end of this year. The value of the contracts is more than 10 million euros.

The Baltic Plant is the only Russian manufacturer of large propellers (weighing up to 70 tons, diameter up to 8 m) made of bronze and brass. The company produces modern propellers for all types of warships and submarines; large-capacity tankers and bulk carriers; nuclear and diesel-electric icebreakers; container ships and passenger ships; small coastal, river and pleasure craft; fast ships and boats.

One evening, the captain of the liner gives dinner to his guests. Cruise vacationers love formal events. Each of them tries to bring home the memory of sea voyage For this purpose, several professional photographers work on board the ship. About 30,000 photos will be taken during the cruise.

The beauty of anyone cruise travel is that in the ports where the liner stops, a lot of new sensations await passengers.

On the ship, everything is done for the clients, but there are always passengers who behave badly and interfere with others. Such people are asked to leave the ship at the nearest port. But the worst thing is when a passenger dies on board. Then the whole team has to console his loved ones. The body is placed in its own morgue.

Crew members and service personnel lead full lives, but completely isolated from guests. They are not allowed to use the main passages on board the aircraft unless absolutely necessary. All personnel move along a hidden system of service corridors and staircases. To do this, in the center of this labyrinth there is a main passage that runs the entire length of the ship. It has the unofficial name E-95, and is used by crew members to get to their cabins, where they can take a break from guests. The laundry room on such a ship is one of the busiest of all types of ships. The workers of this plant work around the clock.

In nightclubs liner« Oasis of the Seas“The DJs do their job well. While they are warming up the audience, night falls on the ship and then most of the 750,000 lamps on the ship light up. Electricity on the cruise ship is generated by diesel generators custom-made by the company " Wartsilla».

The most secure room on a cruise ship is the engineering control room. From here they monitor the weather conditions, monitor the operation of the power plant and control all the ship's systems. This is the center of power on a passenger ship, so entry is strictly prohibited.

On liner« Oasis of the Seas“4,500 km of electrical cable have been laid, so the main thing for the ship’s engineers is not bad weather, but fire. Such liner consumes on average up to 11,000 kg of fuel per hour. A sudden spark anywhere is much more dangerous than a hurricane. Operating costs are enormous - even a slight deviation from the course can add up to a considerable sum.

During bad weather and the inability to safely enter the port, the ship's captain may give orders not to enter the port, and the cruise director will immediately announce the changed plans to passengers. This adds more work to the entertainment service as everyone stays on board.

A cruise ship« Oasis of the Seas"became the world's first passenger ship to have seven independent thematic areas on board Central Park, Boardwalk, Royal Promenade, Pool and Sports Zone, Vitality Sea Spa and Fitness Center, Entertainment Place and Youth Zone, so no one here is discouraged.

Central Park is located under open air in the center of the ship and forms a public space with sidewalks, flowers and trees. Its grounds are used for outdoor walks, street performances and concerts. Above the park's surroundings, 334 cabins stretch five stories high, 254 of which have balconies that overlook the park. Central Park has a range of boutiques, a garden, many gazebos, a sculpture park, cafes, restaurants and a wine bar.

Despite the size liner, some passengers suffer from seasickness. Although all the staff maintain a calm demeanor, some have to deal with a variety of problems on board, from natural disasters to crimes. The plainclothes security service takes on this matter. They have CCTV cameras and the ship's own law enforcement agencies at their disposal.

In case of evacuation to cruise ship There is a modern system of rescue boats, as well as inflatable life rafts, which are located at strategic points on the ship. Resolving safety and security issues, guest requirements. Even on such liners as " Oasis of the Seas“With a great organization, sometimes people can get lost. They are often late at ports, so the ship always reminds them that the ship is leaving exactly on schedule.

The ship has a huge selection of cabins, which include luxury rooms and family rooms. A new feature is 25 two-level rooms with balconies. Each of them covers an area of 1524 square meters. m and is designed for six people. The room has its own piano, bar, jacuzzi and library. Balcony area 78 sq. meters.

Behind summer period the liner carried out seven-day trips around Mediterranean Sea, and will cross the Atlantic Ocean in the fall.

How much does the pleasure of riding on such a miracle of water engineering cost? Really inexpensive. Quite for an acceptable amount, which will be equal to a 1-day holiday in Thailand, however, if you do not book a luxury apartment, but stay in standard rooms.

Currently, almost 400 cruise ships ply the seas. They can carry about 650,000 passengers. Their comfort is ensured by 222,000 crew members. Their average tonnage is 57,200 tons. For comparison, the tonnage of the legendary Titanic was 40,000 tons. In the next 10 years, 36 cruise companies at 17 shipyards ordered another 118 liners worth $66.5 billion, the average tonnage of which will be 97,726 tons, and the capacity - 2440 passengers.

To size cruise ships are divided into:

Very big. Tonnage over 130,000 tons. These are real giants. There are only 36 of these ships, with 23 more planned. The record holder is Royal Caribbean's Oasis-class Symphony of the Seas, with a displacement of 228,081 tons - currently the largest ship in the world. It can carry up to 6,500 passengers. No company in the world is yet planning to build even larger vessels.

Big ones.

Tonnage from 50,000 to 130,000 tons. The most popular size. There are 125 such liners. An important parameter of these liners is the width. For most of them (88) it does not exceed 32m. This allows them to pass through the Panama Canal.

Average. Tonnage from 25 to 50 thousand tons. Liners of this size are typical for premium and luxury class companies. Popular companies of the standard class practically do not have them. Small ones. Tonnage from 5 to 25 thousand tons. Such vessels are mainly used by expedition and luxury companies. Among the latter, such liners are often called “boutique liners”. Due to the small number of passengers and

high level service.

Very small.

Displacement up to 5000 tons. This size is typical for expedition and sailing companies. They can hardly be called liners. Essentially, these are yachts designed for several dozen passengers. Cruise ships can be either unique, built in one copy, or a mass series (project). The most numerous project at present is the Grand class, the ships of which form the backbone of the Princess Cruises fleet (9 ships). P&O Cruises has 2 more ships of this project. The project liners are very similar in appearance and design Destiny, Conquest, Concordia. Carnival Cruise Lines and Costa Cruises operate a total of 15 of these ships. 11 class airliners

Vista sailing under the flags of Holland America, Cunard, Costa, P&O Cruises.

Clue – if you do not have enough information on the liner, we recommend looking at the descriptions of other ships of this project. Typically the cabins and layout are identical. Interiors may vary slightly. Like the companies that own them,

cruise ships
According to the level of service they are divided into classes:
standard

premium

lux.

There is also an intermediate class Upper Premium, which includes liners from Oceania, Azamara and Viking Ocean Cruises. Moreover, ships of the same design (identical structurally) can be of different classes. For example, Queen Elizabeth belongs to the premium class, and Arcadia belongs to the standard class. Although these are identical liners. On cruise ships

no official star rating. If on any website you see “stars” on the liners, this is nothing more than a marketing ploy.

Service factor

For most liners it is in the range of 2-3 and does not exceed 4. This is a rather controversial coefficient, because The newest liners, due to automation and the introduction of new technologies, have a smaller crew. But this does not mean that the service on them is worse than on ships of earlier construction. An example is the innovative modern Quantum of the Seas, whose service coefficient is 3.22.
