Been There – Harmony of the Seas is a mug for one of the largest cruise ships ever built. This massive vessel, part of the Oasis-class, stretches 1,188 feet (362 meters) in length and boasts a gross tonnage of approximately 226,963 GT. Launched in 2016, it can accommodate over 6,600 passengers across 16 passenger decks. The ship is a marvel of modern technology, featuring advanced stabilizers, energy-efficient engines, and a state-of-the-art water treatment system.
Things to do on the ship:
The Ultimate Abyss is the tallest slide at sea, plunging thrill-seekers down 10 decks from the Sports Zone to the Boardwalk at lightning speed. This dry slide, standing at 150 feet (46 meters) above sea level, features a twisting, multi-sensory ride with sound effects and LED lighting for an exhilarating experience.
The Perfect Storm is a trio of high-speed waterslides—Typhoon, Cyclone, and Supercell—that spiral down multiple decks, offering an adrenaline-pumping aquatic adventure. These slides feature tight turns, translucent sections for ocean views, and splash-filled drops that add to the excitement.
Central Park is a lush, open-air garden nestled within the ship, featuring over 10,000 real plants, winding pathways, and charming seating areas. This tranquil escape offers fine dining, boutique shopping, and live music, creating a unique urban oasis in the middle of the ocean.
Inspired by classic seaside piers, the Boardwalk is a lively outdoor area featuring a handcrafted carousel, casual dining spots, and thrilling entertainment. At its heart is the AquaTheater, an open-air amphitheater where high-diving acrobats perform breathtaking aerial stunts above a deep-water pool.
The AquaTheater is an engineering marvel, with a 17.9-foot-deep (5.5-meter) pool designed for high-diving and synchronized swimming performances. Equipped with moving platforms, fountains, and cutting-edge lighting, it delivers mesmerizing shows that blend artistry and athleticism.
The Royal Theater is the ship’s grand performance venue, seating over 1,300 guests and showcasing Broadway-caliber productions. With advanced sound and lighting systems, it hosts full-scale musicals like Grease and original shows that rival land-based performances.
The Bionic Bar offers a futuristic drinking experience, where robotic arms mix and pour cocktails with precision. Guests order drinks via touchscreen tablets, watching as the robotic bartenders shake, stir, and serve with efficiency and flair.
Studio B is a multipurpose venue featuring an ice rink where professional skaters perform dazzling shows filled with jumps and spins. When not hosting performances, the rink opens for passengers to enjoy skating sessions at sea.
The ship features two FlowRider surf simulators, offering guests the chance to test their balance on an artificial wave. With water rushing at 30,000 gallons per minute, riders can practice stand-up surfing or boogie boarding while onlookers cheer from stadium-style seating.
Stretching 82 feet (25 meters) across the Boardwalk, the zip line lets guests soar nine decks above the ship in a thrilling aerial ride. This high-flying attraction offers breathtaking views and an unforgettable rush for adventure seekers.
The Solarium is an adults-only retreat at the front of the ship, featuring panoramic ocean views, cascading pools, and whirlpools. Its tranquil ambiance, complete with plush loungers and tropical plants, makes it a perfect spot for relaxation.
