There's something about mega-ships, those floating skyscrapers laid sideways. So here lies our list of the world's largest cruise vessels, ranked in order of gross tonnage, a measure of volume (and not weight, as it's often incorrectly tied to). You'll also find stats on passenger capacity (both double occupancy, the industry standard, and max occupancy, which accounts for all third and fourth beds in cabins), length and beam (the width at the widest point).
Click on any ship name to read a comprehensive expert review covering everything from cabins to dining; pour over 100s of reader reviews; peruse deck plans; and see itinerary information.
