The world’s largest cruise ship has been safely delivered to Royal Caribbean International.

Symphony of the Seas will enter service on Saturday sailing a one-off five-night preview cruise to Naples and Rome.

Seven-night Mediterranean voyages start on April 7 from Barcelona and will run until November 10.

After that, the ship will transfer to Miami for the winter, sailing seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises.

Symphony of the Seas carries more than 5,500 passengers in 2,759 cabins and suites and has 28 additional balcony rooms compared to its sister ships, plus additional restaurants and on-board activities.

President and CEO Michael Bayley said: "Symphony will take family holidays to an all new level with energy and options never before found in one place.

"This ship is the perfect blend of our greatest hits we know guests love and a lineup of vibrant, new restaurants, activities and unparalleled entertainment – all purposefully designed around holidaymakers’ preferences."
