To this a huge ship hitting its passengers in size, magnificence and comfort, was not destined to swim in April 1912 to the shores of America – facing drifting in the ocean an iceberg, the ship sank in a few hours. Although, at present time, there is another version of the death of the liner, according to which The Titanic did not come across an iceberg.

And the company managed it: launched October 28, 2009 the cruise liner was not just recognized as the most the largest in the history of shipping, but also the most expensive, because it costs “Oasis of the Seas” over a billion dollars. Vessel stay price in the port on average is 230 thousand dollars, and this amount is only in a few hours of parking …
Oasis of the Seas is 5 times the size of Titanic. Dimensions the snow-white liner is really amazing: its length is 360 meters, width – 66, and its peak, that is, the highest point goes up 72 meters. Onboard the ship may be 6360 passengers, as well as the crew of the ship in 2160 people.
A cruise ship really resembles an oasis among the seas, a small city, boldly floating forward. Smart ship provides its passengers with various entertainment centers: 4 pools, the total capacity of which is 2 thousand 300 liters of water, a theater, a large park for walks, 10 spa-centers and even a wall for those who want to do rock climbing.
