#WorldsLargest - Harmony of the Seas, the world's largest cruiseship and the 25th vessel in the Royal Caribbean fleet has sailed to the UK.

The £783m vessel, which arrived into Southampton yesterday as reported by BBC News, also has footage of the 361m (1,187ft) long ship that can carry 6,780 passengers.

It features 20 restaurants, 23 swimming pools and took more than two-and-a-half years to construct.

The 70m (230ft) high cruise ship had its first trial in March when it was guided out to sea from the port of Saint-Nazaire.
It will leave Southampton for a four-night cruise to Rotterdam on 22 May.

On 26 May it will leave the city again for a three-night cruise to Cherbourg before finally leaving Southampton for its summer base of Barcelona on 29 May.

Afloat adds that due to the sheer size of the vessel built by STX France at St .Nazaire, no port on the the island of Ireland can currently handle such a ship.
