The World´s Largest Cruise Liner Docked in Costa Rica this Week

The world´s largest cruise vessel made its first-ever call to Costa Rica on Wednesday, docking in Port Moin in the province of Limon.

The “Queen Mary II”, an eye-popping 151,400-ton liner with 2,600 passengers aboard and a crew of 1,253, has been in operation since 2004 and is run by Cunard, a British maritime company.

This floating city boasts 10 restaurants, five swimming pools, a full-fledged gym and spa, several basketball and tennis courts, an amphitheater to seat 500 people, a number of reading halls, scores of stores and many other facilities.

The Queen Mary II arrived in Costa Rica after touring several countries and is expected to make its second stopover on February 17, though anchoring this time around in Puerto Caldera in the province of Puntarenas. The third call of the year –also to Puerto Caldera- is scheduled for March 13.
