Royal Caribbean Names World's Largest Ships

Oasis Of The Seas

Allure Of The Seas

Both Are Part Of "Project Genesis"
MIAMI (AP) ― Royal Caribbean International has announced the names of its newest class of cruise ships.

The Miami-based cruise operator said Friday that Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas were chosen in a "Name that Ship" contest. The names were submitted by George Weiser, of Livonia, Mich.

Oasis of the Seas will hold 5,400 passengers. It's expected to be the largest cruise ship in the world measuring 220,000 gross tons. Its launch date is set for late 2009 and will dock at Port Everglades.

Allure of the Seas will launch in 2010.

Both are part of the brand's "Project Genesis."

Both ships will be more than 35 percent bigger than the current largest cruise ship, based on volume.
