Wonder of the Seas, the fifth in Royal Caribbean’s revolutionary Oasis Class ships and, at 236,857 tons, the largest ship in the world, has officially joined its fleet.
Marking the completion of three years of construction, a traditional flag-changing ceremony took place in Marseille, France, with shipyard partner Chantiers de l’Atlantique.
Wonder will make its official debut in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on 4 March to begin sailing seven-night cruises to the Caribbean before heading to Barcelona and Rome to offer summer adventures in the Mediterranean.
Highlights on board include eight unique neighbourhoods, featuring the new Suite Neighbourhood, an interactive, open-air play area for kids – Wonder Playscape – and a new restaurant and bar, The Mason Jar.
“Wonder of the Seas will energise cruising in a bolder and bigger way,” said Jason Liberty, president of Royal Caribbean Group. “Adding this ship to our already best-in-class fleet elevates the company in continuing to lead the industry with new features and innovation.”
