Today’s ship photos show the Royal Caribbean cruise ship Harmony of the Seas, aka Oasis 3, under construction at the STX Les Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard site in Saint-Nazaire, France. These photos were taken June 17, 2015.
At 227,000 gross registered tons, Harmony of the Seas will be the biggest cruise ship ever built, beating out Oasis 1 and 2 – Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas – by about 1,700 tons.
Harmony of the Seas will carry 5,479 guests at double occupancy, compared to 5,400 guests with the first two Oasis-class ships, and feature 2,747 staterooms. Like the previous Oasis ships, Harmony of the Seas will span 16 guest decks and feature Royal Caribbean’s exclusive neighborhood concept.
Harmony of the Seas is expected to debut in April 2016. A fourth Oasis-class ship is also under construction at the shipyard and is expected to debut sometime in 2018.
