When thinking of treating yourself to that dream vacation, thoughts of tropical islands, shopping, and romantic getaways might fill your head with the grandest of hotels and pricey destinations. However, if you are truly looking for that experience to never forget, you just might ditch the land for the open waters. There are plenty of cruise ships to choose from to sail you straight to paradise, including both trans atlantic and pacific cruise ships, but only the largest, from the eighteen decked Symphony of the Seas to all her smaller but equally impressive sisters, can do it with ultimate style. When thinking of setting out towards the horizon, consider these larger than life, ten best cruise ships available for voyage.

Symphony of the Seas

Measuring 1,188 feet in length, the Symphony of the Seas takes the crown for the world's newest large cruise ship. Even though it is one of many new, best luxury cruise ships, the Symphony boasts unique attractions such as thousands of tropical plants on deck to make you feel lost on an island while you enjoy commodities such as twenty-two different restaurants. With a cruise ship schedule offering voyages all year round, Royal Caribbean truly uses this beauty to be master of the seas.

Harmony of the Seas

If you are searching for more than the thrill of being out at sea, then start packing for the 1,188 foot Harmony because this ship is loaded with everything from the largest waterslide at sea to a high-flying zipline. With convenient cruise ship ports in California, in both Los Angeles and San Diego, Royal Caribbean cruises, along with some Summit Celebrity Cruises, cater to more than just those thrill seekers; cruises are available to fit any special needs, including ships offering dialysis treatment.

Allure of the Seas

For those vacationers looking for a little less physical excitement and a little more intellectual thrill, look no further than this 1,187 foot beauty boasting its very own theatre featuring Broadway classics for the whole family to enjoy. Book your ticket now, leave your vehicle at the cruise ship parking available at most ports, take a cruise shuttle to the ship, and leaves your worries at the dock.

Oasis of the Seas

The Oasis is a ship of impressive feats, measuring in at 1,184 feet, with such features as the world's deepest high dive pool at sea, surf simulators, and a rock wall. If these activities are a little much for you, enjoy the first ever living sea garden, with over twelve thousand plants and trees.

MSC Meraviglia

Streaming along with all 1,036 feet of its length, the MSC Meraviglia offers some pretty exclusive perks, including a nearly three hundred foot LED Sky Mediterranean-style indoor promenade. For entertainment, the cruise's special agreement with the Cirque du Soleil means the troupe performs onboard twelve times a week.

Norwegian Bliss

Staying true to its fun design, notably a splash of bright colors along the hull, the Norwegian Bliss comes in at 994 feet across. This cruise offers the largest competitive go kart race track at sea and an open-air laser tag course, ideal for the family looking to adventure.

Quantum of the Seas

You might not be able to quantum leap across the 1,141 foot Quantum of the Seas, but you can have fun trying to explore every inch of its futuristic promenades, bumper cars, and even a circus school. The Bionic Bar, where a robotic barman prepares the cocktails, completes the otherworldly feeling of this luxury cruise line.

Norwegian Joy

For those travelers looking for the same large ship experience with a little more exclusivity found in the best small ship cruises, look no further.
