Wonder of the Seas is a 2022-built Oasis-class cruise ship (235,600 GT, 6,988 passenger capacity), the fifth in the Oasis class and — at launch — the world's largest cruise ship. Built by Chantiers de l'Atlantique for Royal Caribbean International; Bahamas-flagged. Delivered in the pandemic recovery era, she was originally designated for the China market before rerouting to Fort Lauderdale + Barcelona. Distinguished from sisters by an extended Suite Neighborhood and a Wonder Playscape kids area on Deck 15.
Wonder crews serve the largest passenger platform at Royal Caribbean until Icon (2024) — 2,300 crew across 25 dining venues and 12 pools. Bridge officers preparing to command Oasis-class hulls typically log 6-12 months as OOW aboard Wonder or Symphony. The vessel routinely posts >100% occupancy for consecutive cruises, stressing housekeeping and catering pipelines.
