SHE’S the largest and most exciting cruise ship built – and she’s coming to Southampton next month.

At a quarter-of-a-mile long – longer than the Eiffel Tower is tall – Royal Caribbean’s Harmony of the Seas arrives into Southampton on May 17.

Packed with thrills and entertainment and experiences, the 227,000-tonne ship has two surf machine Flowriders and a zip line that speeds daredevil riders over the heads of guests on the ship’s own US-style Boardwalk with its carousel ride.

The ship has 31 restaurants, bars and cafes and includes a 1,380-seat theatre which will be staging the Broadway musical Grease, as well as an ice skating rink and high-flying diving and acrobatic shows.

Royal Caribbean is giving four lucky Daily Echo readers and a guest the chance to take a sneak peek and be among the first to go onboard while she is in Southampton.

The winners of our ‘Harmony of the Seas – Act your Shoe Size, Not your Age’ competition will enjoy an exclusive tour and lunch onboard as the guest of Royal Caribbean.

Harmony of the Seas is in Southampton for a few weeks before she sails for the Mediterranean, so this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the thrills and excitement onboard.

The ship includes a scaled-down version of New York’s Central Park. Harmony of the Seas is also packed with awesome thrills and adventures such as Ultimate Abyss, a dry slide with a 100ft drop and the ship’s three waterslides that tumble thrill-seekers into a swirling ‘champagne bowl.’ Accommodation on board ranges from the VIP Royal Loft Suites with their Royal Genie butlers, to inside state-rooms where real-time footage of the view outside is streamed into their cabins.
