    The $1 billion Harmony of the Seas cut a gargantuan silhouette Sunday as it left the western port town of Saint-Nazaire.

    At 362 meters (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.
