The first two ships in the class, Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas, are slightly exceeded in size by the third ship, Harmony of the Seas.[13] As of 2022, all ships of the Oasis class rank amongst the world's largest passenger ships although the title of overall largest is now held by Icon Class lead ship Icon of the Seas. This means that Utopia of the Seas will be the first ship in the class not to hold the title of the world's largest cruise ship when entering service in 2024.
