The largest passenger ship in the world is due to set sail from Miami in May next year.

Royal Caribbean's £400 million Freedom of the Seas will be focused on family holidays and will be able to accommodate 4,350 passengers in 1,800 staterooms.

The company's vice president for Latin America and Asia sales and marketing, Maria Sastre, said the staterooms are designed for multi-generational family holidays.

The vessel will also feature a water park, ice-skating rink and rock-climbing wall.

For those with some time in Miami prior to the launch, the nearby Everglades National Park offers an amazing wetlands experience. A real treat for brave wildlife enthusiasts, the area teems with freshwater alligators.

The 50-mile wide river ranges in depth on its route to the ocean and taking a cruise on a motorboat is the best way to appreciate the huge variety of animals.

One of the rarest species to reside in the area is the Florida panther, between 30 and 50 roam free in the park.

But with over 50 different species of reptiles in the area, visitors can expect to be treated to spectacular wildlife sightings.
