What do you mean by 'biggest' do you mean longest in duration, most people, biggest ship????? Cunard offers a world cruise, on one of their ships (the QE 2 maybe?). It's about 120 days and goes around the world. You can book all of it or individual segments. They also, currently, have the largest ship afloat with the new Queen Mary 2. If it's duration your looking for, there's also ResidenSea's The World. You can purchase a stateroom (like you'd buy a condo) and sail continuously.

Perhaps something else as well. Watch this space.

I guess gross register tonnage

Enchantment of the Seas, RCCL, 11/01 - Eastern Caribbean
Tropicale, Carnival 08/99 - Western Caribbean

That would be the new Queen Mary 2 at about 150,000 tons. RCCL has some that are 142,000 tons (hardly small) with rock climbing walls, indoor ice skating rink and a miniature golf course.

1/1990 - RCCL Song of America
4/13/2003 - Carnival Inspiration
10/30/2004 - Maasdam

Till sailing on the Maasdam

And we should point out that the tonage isn't a weight number, its a displacement or volume number.
