Freedom Ship: Could this giant 'floating city' become the world's biggest cruise ship?

Freedom Ship would anchor a new era of maritime living, proposing a mile-long floating city designed to carry up to 80,000 people. The vessel would be about 800 ft wide, weigh 2.3 million tonnes, rise 30 decks high, and cost around £12 billion (€13.87bn). It would circumnavigate the globe continuously at roughly seven knots, with a permanent home for 50,000 residents and 10,000 temporary visitors, supported by 20,000 crew, and powered by nuclear fuel. It would operate in international waters, not docking at ports. The project is led by Freedom Cruise Line International, with Schopfer Associates as designer; no launch date is set.
