The world's largest cruise ship(游輪)—Wonder of the Seas set sail for the first time on Friday, March 4, 2022 from Florida to the Caribbean Sea. In May, it began a new journey to the Mediterranean from Barcelona, and will explore the Caribbean shores from Port Canaveral in November 2022.

　　The ship is 362 meters long, which is 30meters longer than the Titanic but surprisingly,it travels slower than it. The ship would reach the top of New York's Empire State Building if it was standing. Wonder of the Seas has room for 6,988 guests and 2,300 crew(全體工作人員）members, and weighs more than 237,000 tons, which beats its 2018 sister Symphony of the Seas by more than 8,700 tons.

　　The 18-deck ship arrived in Florida on February 20 this year. It has eight neighborhoods ,including Central Park, which is filled with real plants from one end of the deck to the other. There are twenty restaurants,four swimming pools, a children's water park,a full- size basketball court, an ice-skating area, a 1,400-seat theater, and two 13-meter rock- climbing walls.

　　Royal Caribbean began building the ship in France in 2019.
