The Oasis Class ships are by far the largest cruise ships in the world.  The unnamed Oasis 3 is currently under construction with a launch date in the summer of 2016.  The vessel will be 6 feet longer, 32 feet wider, and slightly over 2,000 tons larger than the Oasis and Allure of the Seas.  More details about the Oasis 4 should be announced in the coming months.
