ROYAL Caribbean
International has passed the
title of the world’s biggest
cruise ship from Harmony of
the Seas to its newest vessel,
Symphony of the Seas.
The line took delivery of the
new ship with a flag-changing
ceremony at STX France
shipyard in Saint-Nazaire over
the weekend.
The maritime ritual signifies
the ship’s official delivery
from the ship builder to Royal
Caribbean and was followed
by a celebration of the team
involved with bringing the
vessel to fruition.
“This ship is the perfect
blend of our greatest hits we
know guests love and a lineup
of vibrant, new restaurants,
activities and unparalleled
entertainment – all
purposefully designed around
vacationers’ preferences,” said
Michael Bayley, president and
ceo, RCI.
The vessel will welcome her
first guests for a five-night
preview sailing on 31 Mar
and will spend the northern
summer homeporting in
Barcelona, Spain, before
arriving at her year-round
homeport of Miami on 10 Nov.
Symphony is pictured on her
way to Barcelona.
