That is the Star of the Seas of Royal Caribbean cruise line, 20 stories high, 8 common areas with 7 swimming pools, 40 restaurants, capacity of nearly 10,000 people.
The inaugural weeklong itinerary will take guests across the eastern and western Caribbean, with stops in San Juan, St. Kitts, Cozumel and Royal Caribbean's private island in the Bahamas.
Star of the Seas was built at the Meyer Turku shipyard in Finland, with construction milestones closely watched by the cruise industry, spanning two years.

How did Star of the Seas earn the title of world's largest cruise ship?
Royal Caribbean’s Icon Class ushered in a new era for ultra-luxury cruise ships with its first two ships: Icon of the Seas and Star of the Seas. Icon of the Seas first set sail in early 2024, immediately claiming the title of the world’s largest cruise ship. However, just a year later, its sister ship, Star of the Seas, entered service and quietly took the title.

The two superyachts are nearly identical in design, passenger capacity, and amenities, but their size tells a different story. Icon of the Seas is 1,200 feet long, has 20 decks, weighs 248,663 gross tons, and can accommodate 5,610 guests in double occupancy—or up to 7,600 when fully occupied—along with a crew of around 2,350. Star of the Seas is about the same length as Icon of the Seas, at 1,200 feet, also 20 decks tall, and can accommodate nearly 10,000 people, but is larger with an estimated gross tonnage of 249,800 gross tons. That slight increase in tonnage is enough to make Star of the Seas the official holder of the title of world's largest superyacht.
Star of the Seas is a floating metropolis with luxurious amenities, designed not just as a ship but as a separate destination. The cruise ship is divided into 8 themed "neighborhoods", each area offers a distinct experience and a series of bars, restaurants, entertainment areas...
