'Building the impossible' was the principle during the construction of the ship. And this is the result:
  • about 241 km of pipes and about 5310 km of electrical lines were installed on the Oasis of the Seas.
  • About 600,000 litres of paint were necessary for the paintwork.
  • The 21 pools contain approx. 2.3 million litres of water.
  • About 2.1 million litres of fresh water are required every day.
  • In its Central Park there are 12,175 plants, some of the trees are more than 7 m tall.
  • The Oasis of the Seas boasts the longest running track at sea. One lap is 692 metres long.
  • The maximum width of the ship roughly corresponds to the wingspan of an Airbus A340-300.
  • The Oasis of the Seas is about three times as long as a soccer field.
Take a look at the technical details:
