MS Allure of the Seas is a cruise ship and is sister ship to the MS Oasis of the Seas, the two of 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. See Less
