Check out this drone video of the lead ship of Princess Cruises' Royal-class line, compliments of Hightning McQueen. It's the MS Royal Princess, seen here crossing Scotland's Firth of Forth. The ship was launched in 2012 and dedicated the next year at a ceremony presided over by the Duchess of Cambridge. The ship displaces about 140k gross tons, has a length of about 330 meters (just under 1.1k ft.), and can carry up to 3.6k passengers. It's one of seven planned ships in the class.

The current 25th biggest liner in the world is too big to make port in Leith. So it has to anchor nearby as a constant stream of small boats ferry passengers to South Queensferry for transport to Edinburgh or back to the ship. Nearly 1100ft long and weighing over 140,000 tonnes she is something to see. Amazing to think there are much bigger liners out there.
