Voyager of the Seas, one of the largest liners for luxury seaside vacations, was built and launched back in 1998. A year later, he started his first cruise. For the first time, many entertainments were tested on it, which much later became common for passenger ships for ocean and sea cruises.
For example, Voyager of the Seas immediately attracted attention due to the present ice rink on board. By the way, the first problems with ice, which cracked during rolling, were found on it. After a number of observations and improvements, we got rid of the errors.
Today, the distinctive features of this ship can be called an imitation of a real street on board, which stretches for ¾ the length of the liner and reaches 4 decks in height. Above it, along the entire length, there is a glass dome. And “street” musicians and other entertainments, cafes, restaurants, boutiques with glass windows add to the fullness of the opening views, as in a familiar city. 
Another attraction of the liner is the double-deck library. Of course, the board did not do without pools, sports centers and even a theater, which is made an exact copy of the famous La Scala.

Video about the largest ships
About the largest cruise ship in the world:
For many centuries, merchant ships and warships have been surfing the ocean. Sometimes people build such colossus that, looking at the photographs, you can hardly imagine them. These hulks carry people, cargo, oil and gas. About the 6 largest floating craft in the world - further in the review.
1. Supertanker Knock Nevis
The longest ship ever built is the Knock Nevis oil tanker, formerly known as the Jahre Viking. The Knock Nevis is also considered to be the largest human-made object ever. Its maximum length is 458.45 meters, and its displacement is 260,941 tons.
The supertanker first entered the water in 1979 when it left the Sumitomo Heavy Industries shipyard in Japan. The vessel transported crude oil all over the world and in 1988 even came under bombardment during the Iran-Iraq war. The vessel caught fire in coastal waters and sank, it was completely written off. After the end of the war, Jahre Viking was raised, repaired and put back into operation.
To control the supertanker, you need a crew of only 35 people. The machine is driven by one 9-meter propeller that makes 75 revolutions per minute. This achieves a cruising speed of 16 knots (30 km / h). To brake, the vessel needs 9 kilometers, and to turn - 3 kilometers of water space.
Throughout its history, the vessel has repeatedly changed its name, owners and home port. In 2009, the tanker made its last voyage to India, after which it was cut into metal.
2. Aircraft carrier USS Enterprise

The nuclear power plant of eight reactors delivers a maximum power of 280,000 hp, thanks to which the ship can reach a speed of 33.6 knots (62 km / h). These characteristics look even more impressive when you consider that the USS Enterprise entered service in 1962. In 2017, after 55 years of service, the ship was officially decommissioned.

At the moment, there are 14 Q-Max class LNG carriers in the world, the cost of each giant is $ 290 million. The ships were built by Samsung Heavy Industries, Hyundai Heavy Industries and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering. The first LNG carrier in the series (Moza) was completed in 2007 at a shipyard in South Korea. The ship received its name in honor of the second wife of the ruler of Qatar.
4. Container ship CSCL Globe
In November 2014, the naming ceremony for the world's largest container ship CSCL Globe was held. This is the first of five container ships ordered by the Chinese transport company CSCL in 2013.
