MS Allure of the Seas is a cruise ship, sister ship to the MS Oasis of the Seas, which hold the distinction of being the world's largest passenger vessels, although it was recently determined that—through an anomaly discovered by design engineers—Allure of the Seas is actually two inches longer than her sister ship, which technically makes Allure the largest passenger ship ever constructed, despite the fact that both ships have identical superstructures. Designed under the name "Project Genesis", she was ordered in February 2006 and construction officially began at STX Europe in Turku, Finland, in February 2008. She was named in May 2008 after a contest was held to name her and her sister. The keel of the Allure of the Seas was laid on 2 December 2008. She left the Turku shipyard on 29 October 2010, at 05:45 UTC, heading directly to her future home port of Port Everglades, near Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA. The ship is equipped with telescoping funnels to pass under bridges such as the Storebaelt Bridge, which she passed on 30 October 2010. While media has reported that there was only 30 centimetres (12 in) of clearance, the truth is that at the mean water level it was closer to 2–3 metres (6.6–9.8 ft) and the much-advertised squat effect, Allure of the Seas (wallpaper 1).

On 11 November 2010, at approximately 9:30 a.m. EST, Allure of the Seas arrived at her home port of Port Everglades, Florida. She was greeted by thousands of fans waiting on the shore. The ship was formally named by her godmother Princess Fiona on 28 November 2010. Allure of the Seas features many firsts for a cruise ship, including the first seagoing Starbucks Coffee stand, the first Britto Store at Sea, and the first time passengers may enjoy entertainment and events with DreamWorks characters. While the length of the Allure of the Seas is the same as that of her sister, 360 metres (1,181 ft), she is actually some 50 millimetres (2 in) longer than the Oasis of the Seas. However, according to the shipyard this is not intentional and such small differences in length may occur simply due to the temperature of the steel in a ship as big as this. The gross tonnage of the Allure is 225,282 and her displacement — the actual weight of the ship — is equal to that of the Oasis, which is estimated to be around 100,000 tons, about the same as that of an American Nimitz-class aircraft carrier. Her steel hull alone weighs roughly 54,000 tons. Allure of the Seas (wallpaper 1). Allure of the Seas ship images wallpaper gallery 1. Allure of the Seas ship pictures and images collection 1.
