The Royal Caribbean International's vessel measures 362 metres (1187.66 ft) long, the size of nearly four soccer fields, and weighs around 227,000 gross registered tons. It also features a 10-storey water slide, 20 restaurants and 23 swimming pools, according to BBC.
The vessel took more than two-and-a-half years to construct and also has 16 guest decks, 52 trees in the park, and 11,252 works of art.
The ship will sail from Southampton on short trips to northern Europe ahead of a maiden cruise which arrives in Barcelona in early June.
