The world's largest cruise ship, Harmony of the Seas, arrived in the British port of Southampton on Tuesday ahead of its maiden cruise later this month.

The Royal Caribbean International's vessel measures 362 metres (1187.66 ft) long, the size of nearly four soccer fields, and weighs around 227,000 gross registered tons.

The ship will sail from Southampton on short trips to northern Europe ahead of a maiden cruise which arrives in Barcelona in early June. - Reuters
