Mega ship arrives in port

GREAT BAY– The arrival of five ships in port yesterday was certainly not an unusual sight, but what made the day special was the presence of the Harmony of the Seas, the largest passenger ship in the world owned by Royal Caribbean International.

The Harmony of the Seas, the third in the Oasis class has surpassed her sister ships Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas. This mega ship has 2,747 staterooms and with double occupancy, it has the capacity to accommodate 5,479 guests.

From above, the Harmony of the Seas towered over Anthem of the Seas, which was closest to it on the new pier. Those mooring alongside the original pier were Brittania, Freedom of the Seas and Azamara Quest.
