Oasis-class cruise ship
Class of Royal Caribbean International cruise ships / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Oasis class is a class of 7 Royal Caribbean International cruise ships. The first two ships in the class, Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas,[7][8] were delivered respectively in 2009 and 2010 by STX Europe Turku Shipyard, Finland.[9] A third Oasis-class vessel, Harmony of the Seas, was delivered in 2016 built by STX France. A fourth vessel, Symphony of the Seas, was completed in March 2018. As of March 2022, the fifth Oasis-class ship, Wonder of the Seas, was the largest cruise ship in the world.[10] A sixth ship, Utopia of the Seas, is currently being built for entry into service in July 2024[11] with a seventh to follow in 2028.[12]

The first two ships in the class, Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas, are slightly exceeded in size by the third ship, Harmony of the Seas.[13] As of 2022, all ships of the Oasis class rank amongst the world's largest passenger ships although the title of overall largest is now held by Icon Class lead ship Icon of the Seas. This means that Utopia of the Seas will be the first ship in the class not to hold the title of the world's largest cruise ship when entering service in 2024.
