Is Allure of the Seas one of the biggest ships?

The 225,282-ton Allure of the Seas was the world's largest cruise ship -- for six years -- before other sister ships kept stealing the title; the latest being Wonder of the Seas debuting in 2022. The Allure of the Seas capacity is 5,492 passengers at double occupancy or 6,452 when every berth is full.



Yes, Allure of the Seas remains one of the largest cruise ships in the world in 2026, though it is no longer the single largest. As an Oasis-class ship, it held the title of the world's largest passenger vessel for several years after its launch. However, in the 2020s, Royal Caribbean surpassed its own records with larger Oasis-class sisters like Wonder of the Seas and Utopia of the Seas. Most significantly, in 2024 and 2026, the title of the absolute largest moved to the Icon-class, led by the massive Icon of the Seas and its newer sisters like Star of the Seas and Legend of the Seas. Even with these new giants on the water, Allure of the Seas (at over 225,000 gross tons) still ranks firmly in the Top 10 largest ships globally. Its immense "neighborhood" design, featuring an outdoor Central Park and a Boardwalk with a carousel, continues to provide a "mega-ship" experience that is significantly larger and more feature-rich than 99% of other cruise vessels in operation today.
