World's biggest cruise ship sets sail from France

PARIS - Tens of thousands of French well-wishers waved revoir to the largest cruise ship in the world as it set sail on its maiden voyage to the U.K. after 32 months in a French shipyard.
The $1 billion Harmony of the Seas cut a gargantuan silhouette Sunday as it left the western port town of Saint-Nazaire.
At 362 metres (1,187 feet) long, the 16-deck ship, is bigger that the Eiffel Tower and holds the records as the widest cruise ship ever built — boasting a 6,360-passenger-capacity.
The Harmony of the Seas is expected in Southampton on Tuesday, ahead of its inaugural voyage on May 22 to Barcelona.
