Two of the world's largest cruise liners are heading to Mallorca later this month, and they are pretty impressive.

First to arrive on 12th May is the Quantum of the Seas. It boasts a sky-diving simulator, a suspended capsule over the top deck where you can take in 360 degree views of the ocean, bumper cars, a surf simulator and a 30 foot high climbing wall - to name a few of the attractions on board.

She weighs in at 168,666 tonnes and is 1141 feet long (nearly 350 metres).

Arriving next on the 25th May is the Allure of the Seas, which is currently classed as the largest cruise ship in the world. On board you'll find a surf simulator, a new york inspired park, a zip line and the first ever starbucks at sea (they get everywhere don't they?!)

She weighs in at 225,282 tonnes and is a whopping 1187 feet long (362 metres).
