TIRUN, the exclusive India representative for Royal Caribbean International has announced its maiden voyage of the award-winning cruise line’s new Oasis-class ship, Harmony of the Seas.

The DreamWorks Experience, the FlowRider surf simulator and the 43-feet tall rock climbing wall and the signature zip line will all add to the adrenaline rush in store aboard the ship.

The ship left Southampton for Rotterdam on May 22 on a four-night cruise, the BBC reported.

For those seeking fabulous wine and dine experiences, there is the dazzling bionic bar with robot-bartenders who whip up lip-smacking, premium-crafted cocktails. Among them: Ultimate Abyss, which just might be the most thrilling attraction ever conceived for a cruise ship. The world’s largest cruise ship was built at the STX France shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France and is the third Oasis class ship. In addition, Harmony has larger cabins than Oasis and Allure in some categories, and windowless “inside” cabins are outfitted with Royal Caribbean’s exclusive Virtual Balconies, which offer a real-time view of the outdoors.

Besides its enormous size, the ship is also the first to feature a Splashway Bay, an interactive aqua park for children.

Wider than Oasis and Allure by about 2.5 feet and a tad longer, too, Harmony holds almost 100 more passengers than its sisters at double occupancy. Such record breaking proportions have also necessitated the expansion of the port’s processing area to make City Cruise Terminal ship-shape for Harmony of the Seas and her guests.
