This would have got an approving glance from Captain Jack Sparrow’s only visible eyebrow. Caribbean cruise company Royal Caribbean International is building the biggest cruise liner in the world. The ship is getting finishing touches in Turku, Finland, at a whopping cost of $1.4 billion. Oasis of the Seas has, at the moment, more than 2,000 people working on it. The 360-metre long liner can carry up to 6,296 passengers and 2,160 crew members. The ship will be baptised in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on 30 November. And she will begin sailing on 1 December. We can’t wait, Captain.
