One of the world’s thickest cruise liners – boasting twenty decks, twenty restaurants, waterslides and a pioneering car racing track – has set sail with its outstanding dispatch caught on camera.

The Norwegian Joy, which cost a staggering £600 million to build over a three-year period, is the very first purpose-built ship for the Chinese market with its home ports being in Shanghai and Beijing.

Drone footage shows the incredible size of the ship, with its two-tier driving racetrack seen for the very first time. Its makers, Norwegian Cruise Line, claims that its motor course is the very first ever of its kind at sea.

Ten cars will be able to race on the tarmac at a time, driving at speeds of up to forty mph. Drivers will be able to admire the ocean views as they scoot along.

Numerous water glides can also be seen on the top deck of the boat, with a standard swimming pool for less adventurous types.

The Norwegian pleasure cruiser will go through thorough testing on the high seas before passengers are welcomed aboard in the summer.

The ship has the capacity to carry Trio,850 passengers, with hundreds of rooms and suites.

It measures 1,070-feet-long, almost three times as long as a football pitch.

A statement on the cruise line’s website also exposed that there will be an open-air laser tag course, a virtual reality pavilion with simulators like hovercraft bumper cars, and multi-storey water slips.

For added luxury, there will be a concierge desk at every level suggesting premium guests private service and special space, including a separate lounge and bar.

There are also mini-suites so extended families can travel together.

And for those who want to shop, Norwegian has promised an extensive selection of duty-free luxury brands on-board.
