The 225,000-tonne leviathan was shown unveiled at Fort Lauderdale, Florida, by the US company Royal Carbbean .
Until now, the inside of the 1,187ft long ship, which can carry 6,296 passengers, has been a closely guarded secret as it traveled through the Baltic and across the Atlantic for its launch.
It even made a brief stop in the Solent earlier this month, but no-one was allowed to look inside.
The ship was given a glamorous launch live on US television. Pop star Rihanna performed a concert on board and two of the ship was even given two "godmothers" - for the ship were named as the actress Jane Seymour and the singer Gloria Estefan.
The £800 million vessel is 40 per cent bigger than any other cruise ship afloat and it has the "Central Park" style open air space aboard about size of a football pitch with its own micro-climate and trees.
