Royal Caribbean’s much-awaited, 227,000-ton Harmony of the Seas on Thursday headed out to sea for the first time for a series of sea trials in advance of its May debut in Southampton, England.
A sister to Royal Caribbean’s giant Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas (the current record holders among cruise ships), Harmony is one of the most-anticipated new vessels in years. It will eclipse its siblings by more than 1,700 tons and hold nearly 100 more passengers at double occupancy. Its total capacity will be well over 6,000 people, not including crew.
Harmony has been under construction at the STX shipyard in St. Nazaire, France for more than a year, and the sea trials are taking place off the coast of France.
The world’s largest cruise ship, which is almost 165 feet longer than the Eiffel Tower, has set off on its first sea trial from France.
Harmony of the Seas, which cost almost £800million to build and weighs 227,000 tonnes, was helped from Saint-Nazaire port by six tug boats this afternoon.
Although there’s no passengers on the ship yet, which is nearly 330 foot longer than the Titanic, there are still around 500 crew aboard as its continues its sea trial until Sunday.

The ship was helped out of the port by several tugs which had to turn the huge vessel and guide it out to the open sea

Even when it was miles away from western France the 210 feet tall ship, with capacity for 6,000 passengers, could still be seen from the shore line as thousands of people gathered to see it on the water for the first time
