They are considered to be huge waterfowl "houses" capable of plowing the seas and oceans of the world. Below is a detailed list of 10 liners - from the smallest and oldest, to the more modern and truly gigantic model.

The ship is an "old man". Its length is 250 m. In the summer of 2003 (date of creation), the liner was very famous. Articles have been written about Crystal. Its dimensions amazed lovers of water travel 15 years ago. It is cozy and comfortable inside.

People can relax on Crystal Serenity, go to an evening dinner, relax in the SPA center, exercise and keep fit.

Only wealthy people can get to the Crystal of the "Lux" class. But the hospitality in the floating "city" and comfort justified the money spent. The liner has gone through several restorations. The vessel was last improved in 2013. The modernization took about $ 16 million. The amount for all improvements is about $ 115 million.

Today, the Crystal can accommodate about 1070 people, which can be evenly accommodated in 550 cabins. The largest cruise ship in the world has several outdoor pools, a designated fitness area, a spa center and 2 jacuzzis. There is also a golf course on the ship. There is table tennis and 2 courts in a separate room.

There are casinos and clubs for fun. For shopaholics - boutiques with clothes. Several bars are located next to restaurants for connoisseurs of expensive elite whiskey. Over the past 15 years, Kristall has developed into an entertainment club for tourists with different interests. More often people over 40 rest on it, who know a lot about all the delights of traveling on the seas and oceans.

The ship is capable of traveling around the world, sailing calm and turbulent waters. In the winter of 2017, Crystal went on a big tour lasting 3 months. He sailed from Miami to South America. Lovers of geography purchased tickets in advance.

Their cost is from $ 35 to $ 53 thousand (depending on the number). People who managed to buy a ticket in the fall of 2016 (4.5 months before the start of the tour) are lucky. Until the end of August, the price was significantly reduced.

Queen mary 2

Translated - Queen Marie. Date of creation - 2004. From the first day after launching, the vessel is considered a leader among peers. In the winter of 2003, an emergency occurred during the construction of the ship. He stood at the shipyard, the ladder collapsed. 15 builders were killed. Another 30 were seriously injured.

Interesting! Queen Marie is the only liner that carries royal mail.

In winter 2007, the liner sailed on a circumnavigation of the world lasting 80 days. The number of people on board is only 500. The ticket price is $ 100 thousand. The trip was entered in the Guinness Book of Records as the cruise of the largest ship for passengers.

In 2015, the Queen was restored, spending $ 120 million. The appearance was changed. After that, Marie is considered the most stylish ship in the world. The cabins are furnished to taste, the guests admire: "Like in a five-star hotel!" The vessel has 12 decks for passengers, 1300 cabins, which can accommodate more than 3 thousand people. The crew is 1250 people.

Initially, a dress code was introduced on the liner. Swimwear is only allowed to be worn by the pool. In restaurants or during a walk, evening dresses and suits are appropriate. If you want to spend time in a cafe during the day, it is better to wear a T-shirt and shorts.

More often, young couples and families with children travel on Korolev. Sometimes they take pets to surf the oceans. But it is allowed that no more than 25 animals be on board at the same time. A 7-day cruise across Canada and America will cost $ 1,000 (if you choose a windowless cabin). Deluxe rooms - over $ 2 thousand

Britannia

In 2015, after the last restoration, the Britannia liner set off on its first voyage. 2 months before the start of the cruise, Queen Elizabeth herself was present at the first launching ceremony. She also blessed the ship. This is the 5th ship christened by the Queen of Britain. The company spent $ 2 billion on this. The ship can accommodate 4.1 thousand people and 1.2 thousand crew.

The liner has:

• 16 decks;
• 3 atriums;
• theatre;
• 4 swimming pools;
• museum with works of art (about 1 million copies)
• almost 2 thousand rooms.

Britain is suitable for couples with children. The cabins are large and have multiple beds. The suites have additional sofa beds. Employees at the start of the trip warn that it is forbidden to leave children unattended. Thanks to the "standard" class, the ticket price is average. For a cabin without a window - $ 800 for 10 days of travel.

Carnival vista

The Novichok floated out for the first time in the summer of 2016. It was thought out to the smallest detail. A water park was installed on the deck for children and adults. The ship is designed for couples. The number of cabins is 1825. The liner surprises passengers with colored slides (suitable for extreme lovers and children from 7 years old). The ship can accommodate 4.7 thousand people (not including crew members - 1.3 thousand).

The first cruise took place in the spring of 2016 to Barcelona. Children are not allowed to be left alone while traveling. To do this, you can call a nanny or take the child to the nursery.

The restaurants provide diet food. A fitness center will help you stay in shape. There are no single cabins, but there are special rooms for the disabled.

The cabins have a minibar, air conditioning, TV and even a safe. Wireless internet and laundry - for a fee. Minus - there is no ironing board or a room specially designated for this. Travelers have found a flaw in the kitchen - the portions are small, it is impossible to satisfy your hunger. The menu is not varied.

Separately, the dress code was noted - it is too strict. It is forbidden to enter restaurants wearing shorts and a T-shirt, even during the daytime. In 2018, the owner listened to tourists, changed the menu in restaurants, diversified it. But the dress code has remained unchanged.

Vista is the first liner to have a large cinema on board. But for the session you need to pay an additional fee. The main travel route is America. Only in the fall of 2017, the liner sailed on a European tour through Spanish cities. Price for 1 ticket is $ 1,000 per person for a small cabin.

Quantum of the Seas

The largest cruise ship in the world was launched at the end of 2014. Its scale is striking: length - 350 m, width - 40 m. The creators came up with the idea of ​​installing a virtual reality balcony in each cabin, which is an 80-inch screen, behind it - a projection of the view overboard.

The liner has:

1. High speed internet.
2. Pools with a special mechanism that sends out believable waves.
3. Air capsule.
4. Robot bartender.
5. Skydiving (simulator).
6. Booking service (the ability to order food, tickets for attractions) - the program is installed on the gadget in advance and a reminder is set; some come to the information kiosks "scattered" around the liner.

The ship has 2,100 rooms. They are able to accommodate 4900 travelers. Upon arrival, many vacationers note that the staff is efficient and friendly. The vessel is suitable for both married couples and seniors. Tours are short - 5 days. The minimum cost for a cabin without a window is $ 850. This addition to the interior is inexpensive - $ 23.

Norwegian Escape

The appearance of the Norwegian ship was awaited by people who like to go on a trip with their relatives. The liner is huge and safe. He was ranked in the top five ships that are suitable for family vacations.

The Norwegian Escape was first launched in the fall of 2016. Its length is 335 m. The ship is called a small town, capable of accommodating 4.8 thousand people (1700 of them are crew). In restaurants, cafes, entertainment centers, huge queues are formed that tire visitors. Instead of queuing, you can soak up the big pool or jacuzzi.

The spa area was modernized, improved in appearance, added a salt room with scented candles, a snow room and a thermal pool.

A huge plus is the availability of single cabins and rooms for disabled people. There are only 2 restaurants and 8 bars throughout the ship. There is a children's pool, a special room for children. Additionally, you can order babysitting services (the cost is included in the ticket).

The largest cruise ship in the world has 15 decks with a water park and a rope park. The price for a double room with a window is $ 600 per person (for a 6-day cruise). Without a window - $ 100 cheaper. The cost for a single room is 2 times cheaper. The liner sails through the Caribbean Sea, starts its journey from Miami ..

The world

You can only get on board with a tour package. The "world" is multi-storey. An interesting decision was made during construction - to make everyone living on the ship the full owner of the cabin, and not just a renter of the room. This was invented by the owner of the ship - Knud Kloster in 2002.

The first 130 cabins were bought by the rich. They liked the shipowner's crazy idea. About 75% of the rooms were sold out before the end of construction. Wealthy people were not frightened by the price for a cabin - from $ 2.5 to $ 9 million. There are 165 residences in total (of which 105 are apartments, the rest are studios, one-room "Khrushchevs").

The vessel has 12 passenger decks. The higher the cabin, the higher the prestige of the owner. It is difficult to call cabins a full-fledged apartment with a bathroom, a balcony, a kitchen and a bedroom. The average room is 200 sq.m.

The owners of the rooms can dispose of them at their own will. Some lease, and many stay on the liner for years, traveling to various cities. Every morning people enjoy a new view from the window.

The length of the Mir is 200 m. The width is 30 m. The ship has equipped a training hall, huge swimming pools, tennis courts, and bicycle tracks. Nobody announces the names of the owners of the expensive cabins. But according to rumors, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Madonna bought their own waterfowl "apartment" on a large liner.

The ship may have a little over 200 owners. Every year they pay for room service and cleaning. Cost for 365 days - $ 65 thousand. Depends on the size of the cabin. Interesting! Since 2002, the vessel has visited 140 countries around the world.

Oasis of the seas

The largest cruise ship in the world in 2009 accommodated about 6,200 people on board (passengers) and 2,178 crew members. Megaliner has 2-storey apartments. Average area - 150 sq.m.

Length of "giant" - 370 m. Width - 68. Demand for cabins is high. Many people want to go on a cruise on this ship. The number of cabins is 2710. The crew on the ship manages to timely serve dishes in restaurants, and also manages to feed the crew on time.

The oasis has:

1. Mini golf.
2. Several climbing walls.
3. Karaoke.
4. Zipline.
5. Volleyball court.
6. Ice rink.
7. Bowling.
8. Basketball court.
9. Theater (accommodates 1400 people).
10. Casino (30 poker tables, 445 table machines).

Real trees were placed on the liner in a mini-park. It survived after the restoration of the ship in 2014. When the Oasis arrives at the port, 1/3 of the people do not even go ashore. The room can accommodate up to 8 people. There are no water slides or dry slides, but there are 14 lifts, 11 bars, 2 large cinemas and 7 restaurants. There is even a chapel on the liner, which is not the case on many ships.

There are no single rooms - the ship is designed for large families. With family you can watch an ice show, a Broadway musical or stand-up comedy (perfect knowledge of English is required). In the summer of 2019, the Oasis will again sail across the Mediterranean and will make 2 stops in Barcelona and Rome.

Interesting fact. There are many Russians among the crew members.

Due to the huge number of passengers, theater tickets have to be booked in advance. Exotic dishes are also ordered a few days before a meal. For a seven-day trip, they charge $ 700 per person.

Allure of the seas

This "giant" is considered the twin of the "Oasis". Their parameters are the same. Only the length is 45 mm longer. Marine Charm has 15 decks, 2,700 cabins and 2,500 crew members.

The huge city on the water is considered the center of entertainment, which includes:

• several large restaurants with a varied menu;
• 3 bowling alleys;
• many cafes;
• a specially designated climbing area;
• zipline;
• SPA center;
• basketball and volleyball court;
• fitness rooms;
• 3 swimming pools with beautiful waves.

The cruises are designed for seniors. "Sea Charm" has Starbucks on the entertainment list, where the parties of the 1930s often take place. This was done so that 70% of passengers could remember their youth. The musical Mamma Mia is being demonstrated overseas!

A snow-white liner sails across the Mediterranean. Some Russians and Belarusians were able to relax on the ship. The vessel is divided into 7 zones. Because of this, tourists do not have a feeling of "cramped" and discomfort. There is also no confusion. Everyone chooses a zone to their liking: sports, entertainment, gaming (casino), quiet for reading, shopping and more.

In 2014, the Oasis twin underwent modernization. All the improvements were to the liking of the new passengers of the cruise ship. In 2015, the ship again embarked on a tour of the Caribbean. Price for 7 days of cruise - $ 700 - regular cabin. $ 1.5 thousand - suite.

Harmony of the seas

The largest of the newest cruise ships in the world. Commissioned in early 2016. Leading in length among the above cruise ships. Length - 375 m. Width - 72 m. There are 19 decks on the platform, 4 of which are reserved for personnel, the rest for passengers. 2750 cabins, divided into 15 types. There are single rooms with an area of ​​9 sq.m.

The maximum area of ​​2-storey luxurious suites is 140 sq.m. On several decks, there are two "dry" slides and three water slides, for extreme lovers. The height is enormous - measured by multi-storey buildings - up to the 9th floor. To go down, passengers are given felt mattresses. The sensations are incredible, once it's worth a ride for the sake of vivid memories.

The passenger capacity is 6.5 thousand, and the crew members - 2.3 thousand. Seats for free shows in the evenings must be booked 3-4 weeks before the start of the trip.

The huge area of ​​the vessel allows you to forget about the location in the ocean. The abundance of entertainment allows you to while away the time. It is impossible to get around all the cafes, restaurants, boutiques and so on in a week. Many buy tickets in order to once again visit the liner and completely bypass it, to see all the sights and places.

Since September 2016, "Sea Harmony" headed for the Mediterranean, visited Spain and Italy. The price for a cabin without windows is from $ 2,000. In addition, you will have to pay a port dues fee ($ 95). Every day you must pay a tip to the waiters (minimum $ 9). Alcohol, meals in restaurants that are not included in the "base", excursions along the shore, entertainment will also have to be paid for with your own money

Outcomes

According to the calculations, a table was drawn up. On it you can see which liner is superior to the others in length, width and number of cabins for visitors. One of the "giants" can accommodate up to 6.5 thousand passengers on board.

Having carefully examined the table, it can be noted that the longest and widest ship is the Harmony of the Seas, which takes the first place in the list and becomes the leader in 2018. The most expensive cabins - $ 2.5 million - are sold on the ship "The World", their number is limited.

The maximum number of people accommodates the leader of the “ten” - “Harmony of the Seas”. The smallest ship is "Crystal Serenity" (length - 250 m, width - 32 m). But people who often travel on liners do not care how big or small the ship is. They value the atmosphere on the ship and old acquaintances with the crew members.

Couples prefer a relaxing holiday on the Norvegian Escape or Oasis. The first has cabins for 8 people (perfect for a large family). On the second, you can meet crew members of any nationality, be it English or French, or Russian. The number of nationalities is over 70.

If you do not know any language, there is always a person who will help. The staff are very friendly. Seniors - true connoisseurs of furniture, music, atmosphere from the 50s will prefer Crystal Serenity to other liners. Comfort and coziness always reign on board. You can indulge in nostalgia or relax with a game of poker.

Some people buy a ticket for the oldest and largest (at the time) cruise ship in the world, in which the tour lasts up to 3 months, in order to chat with other people, and maybe make new acquaintances.

You can also spend your evenings at the bar, chatting with a robotic bartender (aboard the Quantum of the Seas). After all, travelers are divided into 2 types: those who want to relax, and those who are not going to relax.
