Titanic was a cruise ship. Everyone remembers his story. He collided with an iceberg because he was very huge and could not turn sideways in time. It seemed that such liners would not be able to exist; they were very bulky and their fate was not comforting. But it turned out that similar liners can exist, and at the same time be several times larger. Today, the largest ship is the Oasis of the Seas. Photo below:

It really is several times larger than the Titanic. Look at this image:

Royal Caribbean International wanted to build a ship that would be the best for many years to come, and on October 28, 2009, Oasis of the Seas was launched. It immediately became the largest cruise ship in the world. The ship also became the most expensive, as its price was $1.24 billion. average price the vessel's stay in the port is $230,000.
