The imposing yet graceful vessel will be ably berthed with the assistance of SCASPA’s qualified and efficient pilots as it lulls in our azure waters from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the day of its inaugural call. As is customary with cruise inaugural calls, a welcome ceremony is planned where delegates from St. Kitts Tourism, the St. Christopher Air & Sea Ports Authority, Agents and other dignitaries will officially welcome Harmony, the third Oasis-Class Cruise ship in the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line, to the shores of St. Kitts.  MS Harmony of the Seas has been recorded as the world’s largest passenger ship in the world, surpassing her older sisters Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas.

The ship is divided into seven neighborhoods, including Central Park and Boardwalk, like her Oasis-class sisters.
