The largest cruise ship ever sailed last week from Florida. It is 362 metres long and has room for 6,988 guests. It is called the "Wonder of the Seas". Its passengers are enjoying a cruise of the Caribbean. The company said the Wonder of the Seas had world-class features. It wanted to "create something truly awe-inspiring".
It took three years to build the ship. It weighs 237,000 tons. It is 306 metres longer than the Titanic, but the Titanic was 1.8kph faster. The ship has eight different "neighbourhoods" that will give guests different experiences. It also has 20 restaurants, four swimming pools, a water park, and a 1400-seat theatre.
