So, a few words about Harmony of the Seas.

The 18-deck, 227,000 ton giant can accommodate up to 6,000 guests in her 2,747 cabins.

The liner is 40% larger than its Freedom class predecessors: the length of the vessel is equal to the length of four football fields, the carpet area is 89,000 square meters. m., the weight of water in the giant’s filled pools is 2,300 tons; passengers consume more than 50 tons of ice per day. But its main miracle, after all, remains the Royal Promenade - a walking street along the entire liner with many restaurants, lounge bars and boutiques. On the first two floors of the Royal Promenade there are numerous cafes and bars, and on the third there are cabins for guests.

In the evening, guests are always treated to fiery rhythms of music and a parade from the DreamWorks studio.

One of the most popular places on the liner - Central Park, created in the form Central Park New York. The feeling of complete relaxation is created here by thousands of tropical plants and real forest tropics. Cozy cafes and restaurants complete the picture. By the way, in the park there is an entrance to the first elevator bar on a cruise ship - Rising Tide Bar! There is even a real French carousel on board, which is hand painted.

In the evening, the liner is transformed, and many colorful shows appear before the eyes of tourists - musicals, concerts, parades, jazz... There are ice rink, where you can go ice skating during the day and enjoy a wonderful, bright ice show in the evening! The highlight of the entertainment program is AquaTheater. Acrobats and dancers do incredible things that add up to a whole theater on the water!

Never before has so much water fun been offered to guests - Harmony of the Seas has 4 swimming pools, 10 Jacuzzis and 2 wave pools.

For those who love extreme rides, Ultimate Abyss is the most... high slide on the sea, rising 30 meters above its level and stretching from deck 16 to deck 6!

The Zip Line attraction will not leave anyone indifferent - a breathtaking slide on a rope ride at a height of more than 25 meters, deck 16. For fans active rest- climbing wall.

Harmony of the Seas is a great holiday option for the whole family!
A separate area has been created for children, which includes an area for babies and toddlers, a crafts studio, an art studio, a science laboratory, and a children's theater. There is a special room for teenagers with slot machines and a dance club.

The choice of cabins is huge - from the interior to the Presidential Royal Suite, whose area is 108 sq.m + balcony 45 sq.m and can accommodate up to 14 people!

Imagine a Las Vegas neighborhood that flows from city to city. Imagine a ship for 7,500 people, of which 2,500 are employees and staff. Add to them an ice skating rink, volleyball and basketball courts, a golf course, a bowling alley, climbing walls, a fitness center, a spa, and infinity pools and you get the largest cruise ship in the world - Allure of the Seas.

A cruise ship is, in fact, several enterprises independent from each other. One team deals with navigation, another with hotels and accommodations, a third feeds thousands of people every day, a fourth arranges and conducts entertainment, and so on. The life activity of such a sea monster is very complex and interesting. This is what I want to talk about in today's post...

This was my 15th or 16th cruise. I remember that even on large ships I sometimes got seasick. Here there is no feeling at all that you are on the open sea. The colossus is so huge that no rocking is felt at all. We were sailing into a force 6 storm, the waves were 4.2 meters high. The ship was motionless, like an Egyptian pyramid:

3.

There are original diagrams and signs on each floor and in each lobby. All that is highlighted in white is the hotel, purple areas are public:

4.

Upper deck:

5.

There are a lot of public places. It’s impossible to get around everything at once:

6.

The liner consists of two parallel houses connected by jumpers - in front and behind. Between them is an empty space with a green area. On the roofs of the “houses” there are swimming pools and sun loungers:

7.

There are a lot of pools, for every taste and color. There are adults, children, with slides, fountains, jacuzzi, etc.:

8.

Mini golf:

9.

Basketball and volleyball court:

10.

There are several areas with ping pong tables:

11.

Zip Line - a high-speed descent along a cable from one side of the ship to the other:

12.

There are two "waves" you can surf. One for beginners, the other for more or less advanced:

13.

14.

On the upper deck there are “wings” that protrude from the hull of the liner to the sides. There are 2 large Jacuzzis in the wings. You lie in warm water 18 floors above the sea and look at the waves below you. Very cool:

15.

The bow of the ship. Several decks are dedicated to public areas. The design of the canopies is such that it provides maximum protection from the wind, while maintaining a feeling of open space:

16.

There are three pools at the bow of the ship:

17.

18.

Now let's see what is between the "houses" of this liner. At the stern there is a carousel, a bar, a park, and a cinema in the distance:

19.

In the evening, acrobats from shows like Cirque Du Soleil perform in the cinema. Very cool. I thought about going in and taking a couple of photos for the report, but I sat there with my mouth open until the end of the show:

20.

On the other side, Central Park is an open space with trees and plants on the 8th floor:

21.

The green zone is divided by a jumper into two sections:

22.

Let's go down to the 8th floor:

23.

Glass roofs are provided for the promenade area, which is located three floors below. There are streets here, birds are singing - you have the complete feeling that you are walking in the city:

24.

This area is home to renowned international restaurants and shops. We will return to them in the next post:

25.

The stern of the ship. There are two walls for climbing. Mountaineering, Karl!

26.

Bars in Central Park:

27.

Cinema:

28.

The deck at fifth floor level opens to the lifeboats. It runs throughout the entire ship, and people are brought here in emergency situations. To ensure that the space does not go to waste, it is used as a treadmill. Passengers on large ships often do this, but only here they have specially marked paths for running and walking. Even the direction was agreed upon so as not to collide with each other. Full circle 700 meters:

29.

The bow of the ship is occupied helipad, passengers are not allowed there. You won't be able to act out a scene from Titanic:

30.

Fifth floor under Central Park. Shops, bars with karaoke, even Starbucks:

31.

A rare car to add chic and luxury to your space:

32.

The fourth floor is a casino and nightclubs. Gambling establishments open only when the liner leaves the territorial waters of a particular state. Doesn't work in the port:

33.

Central hall for shows and concerts:

34.

There is no excursion to the captain's bridge, but I was lucky to sail with a group of Spanish journalists. Their visit was agreed upon and I managed to get involved with this company. The captain's bridge looks a bit empty. A huge area, but the controls occupy only a small area in the center:

35.

The ship is steered not by the captain, but by the first officer. He gave us a tour. The officer's name is Gennady. He is from Odessa. Our boy.

The ship has no steering wheel. The three engine propellers rotate 360 ​​degrees and are adjusted either manually using three rotators (in the foreground of the photo) or using a computer. The system monitors the course and steers:

37.

38.

39.

40.

The command headquarters is located nearby and can be separated from the captain's cabin by a partition. All aircraft controls are duplicated here:

41.

When the ship is moored in port, the officer uses the left and right "wing" exits:

42.

There is also a control system here:

43.

From here you can clearly see the side of the aircraft and this allows you to “park” without incident:

44.

In the next post I will tell you what restaurants, shows and entertainment there are on the ship. Let's take a closer look at them. Stay Tuned!

Since ancient times, for a person the ability to swim like a fish was no less desirable than the ability to fly like a bird. What the body given by nature cannot do, the machines we built helped to accomplish. From the fragile boats of antiquity, humanity has grown to create huge cities on the water. The largest of them amaze even modern people accustomed to the achievements of progress with their combination of power and beauty.

The largest ships in the world: selection criteria

To name the biggest ship, there are at least two criteria: dimensions (length and width) and displacement (essentially the volume of the underwater part of the ship).

In addition, to determine the winner in individual categories, his ability to fulfill his main task is decisive. For a passenger ship, this is the number of passengers it can take on board and the number of cabins; for a dry cargo ship or tanker, this is the weight of the cargo being transported; for a container ship, this is the number of containers.

Sailboats and steamships

Before moving on to modern record holders, let's remember their predecessors, those who plowed the seas driven by the power of wind and steam.

Biggest sailing ship, ever left the stocks is the French barque France II. The ship had a displacement of almost 11 tons and a length of 146 meters. For only ten years - from 1912 to 1922 - it carried out regular cargo transportation, until the sailing ship, which ran aground off the coast of New Caledonia, was abandoned by its owners. The ship was finally destroyed in 1944 during a bombing.

The greatest steamship in history is the Great Eastern, launched in 1857. Its length is 211 meters, and its displacement is 22.5 thousand tons. The ship was driven by two wheels and one propeller, but could also sail. The main purpose of the vessel is Passenger Transportation, the Great Eastern could carry up to 4,000 people. Unfortunately, the age of coal and steam was not kind to such large-scale projects - the operation of Great Eastern turned out to be unprofitable and was discontinued for economic reasons.

Absolute record holder

For many years, the winner in the nomination "The Most big ships in the world" was the tanker Knock Nevis. Built in 1976 in Japan, it changed names many times and underwent major restructuring. The champion acquired its final dimensions in 1981 (under the name Seawise Giant): 458.5 meters in length, 68 in width at displacement 565 thousand tons.

A huge tanker is a piece of equipment that is not so easy to find a use for. Due to its size, the ship had a low speed, a huge stopping distance (more than 10 kilometers!), could not pass through strategic shipping straits and could only moor in a few ports around the world.

You can see a photo of the largest ship on any website dedicated to the history of shipbuilding, but this giant has recently belonged to the past, just like sailing ships and steamships. In 2010, the ship, which had not been used for six years, was cut into scrap metal.

Hard-working giants

Like Seawise Giant, others largest ships There are also cargo ships: tankers, bulk carriers, container ships.

The longest ship currently in use (397 meters) is container ship Emma Maersk. According to various sources, its side can be lifted from 11 to 14 thousand standard containers. Since the designers were tasked with ensuring the passage of Emma Maersk through the Suez and Panama Canals, the width and draft of the ship were designed to be quite moderate. Therefore, the displacement of such a giant is “only” 157 thousand tons.

And the largest ships in the world in terms of displacement are four Hellespont supertankers. Although the length of each of them is 17 meters less than that of the leader among container ships, the displacement is one and a half times greater - 234 thousand tons.

The ore carriers of the Brazilian company Vale are not too inferior to them. The largest of them - Vale Sohar - has a displacement of about 200 thousand tons and a length of 360 meters. The maximum cargo that this giant is able to transport is 400 thousand tons.

Cruise beauties

Although passenger ships and are not as large as cargo ones, but they make an indelible impression. A cruise ship is not a means of transportation, but a luxury vacation destination. The large size of the ship here serves not so much as an opportunity to accommodate as many passengers as possible on board, but rather to create all imaginable comfort that would satisfy the most demanding public.

The largest passenger ships are many times larger than the Titanic, which once seemed incredible. The pair of twin ships Allure of the Seas and Oasis in the Seas are unparalleled in size. 362 meters in length and 225 thousand tons of displacement - figures comparable to the largest cargo ships. Each of the liners can comfortably accommodate 6,400 passengers. In addition, 2,100 personnel serve on board (this is against several dozen sailors serving tankers and dry cargo ships).

Allure of the Seas or Oasis in the Seas offers shops, casinos, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, a fitness center, volleyball and basketball courts, a sauna and swimming pools. There is even a park with real trees and grass.

Sea storm

You cannot ignore the largest warships. These are now aircraft carriers. And this is understandable: no matter how hard aviation engineers work to reduce the take-off mileage of aircraft, the “winged sailors” still need a rather large path to take off from.

In the period before World War II, the most powerful maritime powers built especially large warships - battleships. The largest of them is the flagship of the Japanese fleet, Yamato. 263 meters long, 40 wide, with a crew of 2,500 sailors - the battleship seemed simply invulnerable. However, the ship, launched in 1940, was sunk shortly before Japan's surrender.

The development of anti-submarine weapons has made such ships too easy a target. The ships laid down in those years were still in service (for example, the American battleships of the Iowa project), but the main focus in the post-war period was on aircraft-carrying ships.

The largest naval ship of all time was the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise. Its length is 342 meters, width - 78 meters. The ship carried up to 90 aircraft(airplanes and helicopters) that served 1,800 people. The total crew size is 3,000 sailors. After serving for more than half a century, the Enterprise was retired from service with the United States Navy in 2012. Now its place has been taken by Nimitz-class aircraft carriers, slightly inferior in size to their predecessor - the length of the largest modern aircraft-carrying ships is 333 meters.

The largest ships in Russia

Although Russian-made ships do not occupy the top positions in the ratings of the largest ships in the world, some models have no equal in their categories.

Thus, the flagship of the Russian Northern Fleet, the nuclear-powered missile cruiser "Peter the Great" is the world's largest non-aircraft-carrying combat strike ship. Dimensions of the cruiser: 251 meters - length, 28 meters - width, displacement - 28 thousand tons. Main task: countering enemy aircraft carrier formations.

There is also another record holder in service in the Russian Navy - the Akula submarine (project 941). The length of the boat is 173 meters, the underwater displacement is 48 thousand tons, the crew is 160 people. The submarine is equipped with a nuclear reactor and diesel engines power plants. The main weapons are intercontinental ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads.

Of the civil courts, mention must be made of the largest nuclear icebreaker"50 Years of Victory", rolled off the stocks in 1993. Perhaps, knowing what the largest ships in the world are, its 160 meters in length will seem frivolous, but still in its class this ship has no equal.

Giant at the shipyard

In addition to the ships themselves, modern shipbuilders are busy developing other sea giants - floating platforms. The amazingly sized structures can be used for a variety of purposes, from mining to launching spacecraft.

Right now, at the shipyards of the South Korean Samsung Heavy Industries, the floating platform Prelude, which the customer - Royal Dutch Shell - plans to use it to extract, liquefy and transport natural gas. In 2013, the Prelude hull was launched. Its dimensions are more impressive than the largest ships in the world can boast. A photo of the unfinished giant became available to everyone interested.

The length of the vessel is 488 meters, width - 78 meters, displacement - 600 thousand tons. It is assumed that the platform will be moved using tugs. Only the lack of its own chassis does not allow the Prelude to be called a champion among giant ships. A platform is still not a ship.

Of all the thousands of ships that exist in the world today, the largest cruise ship is considered Oasis of the Seas. At the same time, it is also the most expensive liner on the planet: its unsurpassed luxury cost the ship's owners $1.24 billion.

Passenger Oasis liner of the Seas was launched on October 28, 2009. And to this day, this ship has no equal either in its bold design or in the mass of technological achievements. All this provides its passengers with unforgettable sea ​​cruises. And this is against the backdrop of the fact that a two-week trip on a miracle ship in the cheapest cabin will cost a rather modest amount - from 1,300 euros per seat.


The creator of the ship was the company Royal Caribbean International, which thought through every detail in its brainchild, including, of course, one hundred percent protection of the ship from hurricanes, giant waves and even infectious diseases. Direct shipbuilding work commissioned by the mentioned company was carried out at the STX Europe enterprise. It is interesting that the propellers for the huge vessel were made in Russian company- JSC "Baltic Plant".


The length of the “Oasis of the Seas” is 361 meters, width – 66 meters, and height – 72 meters. The liner was built with a displacement of 225 thousand tons. Such impressive parameters of the ship allow us to say that Oasis of the Seas is 40% larger than any other liner in the world. Compared to the infamous Titanic, this ship is 5 times larger in size.


In total the most big airliner in the world consists of 16 decks, 2704 cabins, designed for 6360 passengers and 2160 crew members. If we compare Oasis of the Seas in height with ordinary buildings, then it rises above the water at the level of a 20-story building. The ship has 6 engines, which, together with other power plants, provide the ship with a power of 96 MW, allowing it to reach speeds of up to 22.6 maritime knots, which equals 41.9 km per hour.


There is a huge variety of entertainment on the “Oasis of the Seas”, for every taste - from millionaires to ordinary people. Thus, the ship has a water amphitheater, a carousel (made “life-size”), a floating park, an ice skating rink, a golf course, 4 swimming pools (with a total water volume of 2300 tons), volleyball and basketball courts, climbing walls and a children’s playroom. zone with theme parks.


Also huge liner famous for its 10 spa baths and trendy surf simulators. Moreover, Oasis of the Seas is so large that it is divided into themed areas. Let us pay attention, for example, to the tropical zone, which attracts with palm trees and wines: there are always a lot of people here who rest and relax as if in the tropics. In total, 12 thousand plants were planted on the ship, including 56 trees.


As a result, while on the open sea, the ship’s tourists have the opportunity to visit a unique analogue of “Central” Park in New York. Here you can relax in the shade of real big trees, watch an ice show and listen to Broadway musicals. In addition, at the stern of Oasis of the Seas there is an open amphitheater with a capacity of 750 seats, which was modeled after an ancient Greek amphitheater. And in another part of the ship there is an indoor theater that can accommodate 1,300 guests.


At the same time, the ship's passengers are always celebrating something, so the Oasis of the Seas goes on a two-week cruise with the following supplies: more than 14 tons of meat products, 20 thousand bottles of champagne, 44 thousand fresh eggs, 6.6 tons of salad, 3 tons of onions, 22 tons of potatoes and that's not all. The ship's restaurants prepare the most delicious dishes, for which ingredients should also always be on hand. In total, about 70 thousand main dishes are served on the ship every day, of which 15 thousand are dessert.

It is also necessary to mention the disposal of garbage on the ship. Oasis of the Seas has its own waste processing plant. Here, all the garbage is first sorted, and then pressed and thrown into a landfill at the nearest port. Also on board the liner there is its own film studio, in which daily material about life on the “Oasis of the Seas” is filmed and broadcast in the evening to the cabins of vacationers.


In addition, more than three hundred cooks work on the ship. And in the galley there is a food warehouse worth a total of $2 million. Strict rules state that only registered employees have access to the galley. At the same time, service personnel and crew members also lead a full life on the ship, but it is completely isolated from the guests, and all movements of people working on the liner occur through a hidden system of service stairs and corridors.


Centered cruise ship passes amazing place, called the "Royal Promenade". There is a transparent illuminated elevator here. There are also a lot of bars and shops in this place, which makes this “street” look like small town. As already mentioned, Oasis of the Seas hosts an ice show, which always attracts a lot of spectators. But in order to prevent the natural rocking of the ship from interfering with the performers, the ship’s stabilization system is turned on for the duration of the show.


At the “Oasis of the Seas” everything is thought out for luxury holiday passengers, but sometimes tourists behave badly and disturb others. Then they are asked to leave the ship at the nearest port. But more difficult situations arise when one of the ship's guests dies. Then the body of the deceased is placed in its own morgue, and the relatives of such a person are consoled by the whole team. Also, the liner personnel have to solve many problems: from providing medical care before investigating crimes.


But the safety on the ship is also monitored by its own service. Its employees wear civilian clothes and are constantly monitored using video cameras. And in case of unexpected situations, Oasis of the Seas will be able to use a modern rescue boat system, as well as inflatable life rafts, which are located at certain points throughout the ship.
