Symphony of the Seas – Royal Caribbean

The Symphony of the Seas is an absolute giant one of the biggest cruise ships in the world, no joke. She officially launched in 2018 and sails under Royal Caribbean International. If you’re into ships that feel like floating cities, this one’s right up your alley.

She can carry about 5,500 guests at double occupancy, and with the crew and full load, it’s more like 6,800+ people. Yeah, it’s a lot—but it never really feels crowded thanks to how massive and well laid out everything is. We’re talking 18 decks, seven different “neighborhoods,” water slides, an ice rink, a zip line, a full-on Boardwalk, and even a freaking park with real trees. It’s wild.

The Symphony spends most of her time in the Caribbean, sailing out of ports like Miami. She hits all the fan-favorite stops like St. Maarten, Cozumel, and Royal Caribbean’s private island, Perfect Day at CocoCay. It’s sunshine, turquoise water, and all the beach vibes you could ask for.

In short, Symphony of the Seas is kind of the ultimate “do-it-all” cruise ship. Whether you’re into nonstop activities or just want to chill with a drink and ocean views, this ship’s got you covered. It’s big, bold, and made for vacationers who want the works.
