The world’s
biggest cruise ship, the Oasis of the Seas, is due to arrive in Rotterdam port
next Monday night after a week long cruise from the Spanish city of Malaga.
The ship is
60 metres wide and can carry 6,360 passengers plus nearly 2,400 crew. It is owned
by Royal Caribbean Cruises.
Meanwhile,
sister ship Quantum of the Seas on Monday left its wharf in the German port of
Papenburg for the Dutch North Sea port of Eemshaven.
The
348-metre-long ship was towed down the river Ems by two tugs – a journey which
involved keeping the water level in the river artificially high. From
Eemshaven, the ship - the world's third biggest cruise liner - will undergo a
first short ‘test drive’, owner Royal Caribbean Cruises said.
