With such a luxurious floating city, it's almost a no-brainer that an Instagram specialist would be on hand as a passenger. British citizen Russ Francis took this position for himself, and his job was to advise passengers on how to take the best pictures, or photograph them. And passengers really had to take pictures, because Royal Caribbean, the owner of the ship, wanted to make it the most photographed steamship on Instagram.

“For something to be truly Instagram-worthy, it has to be unique enough that people want to share it. And more factors come into play than just good looks. In my opinion, Symphony of the Seas ticks all the boxes as to why it should be the most photographed ship on Instagram,” thinks Francis.

Whether this fact occurred or not, this steamer was already extraordinary. She was the largest passenger ship ever built, weighing 228,000 tons. Its eight decks can accommodate up to 8,000 people comfortably, but 6,680 passengers will take part in the maiden voyage.

This floating giant has 20 restaurants, six bars – in one of which robots will mix cocktails. Other attractions include a zipline, rock climbing, mini golf or a basketball court.

Symphony of the Seas is already the 25th ship in Royal Caribbean's fleet. On his first voyage he would go to the Mediterranean, especially around the coasts of Spain, France and Italy. In the fall, he will move to the Caribbean, where Miami will be his home port for the rest of the year. He's going to take some cruises from there.
