Theme day: BIG!!!
Based in Barcelona, this is the MS Voyager of the Seas, a Royal Caribbean International cruise ship. It became the world’s largest cruise ship when it entered service in 1999 (for a while, anyway).
The numbers are amazing:
| Tonnage: | 137,276 GT (gross tonnage) |
| Length: | 1,020 ft (310.90 m) |
| Beam: | 156 ft (47.55 m) |
| Height: | 63 m (206.69 ft) |
| Draft: | 29 ft (8.84 m) |
| Decks: | 15 |
| Propulsion: | 3 x 14 MW Azipod propulsion, two azimuthing, one fixed |
| Speed: | 23.7-knot (44 km/h; 27 mph) |
| Capacity: | 3,138 passengers[1] |
| Crew: | 1,181 crew |
There is pretty much everything you can think of on that ship, even an ice skating rink and a wedding chapel! Cost half a billion dollars, after all!
Just behind, you can make up Montjuic Hill, and Barcelona Castle.
