The largest cruise ship ever will depart from England on Sunday and head toward The Netherlands with paying passengers for its inaugural voyage.
Royal Caribbean’s Harmony weighs 226,963 tons and boasts several luxury amenities, including tall water slides, surf simulators, rock climbing walls, a zip line, a basketball court and an ice-skating rink, according to the cruise line. It also features a “bionic bar” where robot bartenders serve drinks, USA Today reports.
The massive cruise ship will take off on a four-night journey from Southampton, England to Rotterdam, The Netherlands, according to the newspaper.
