The largest cruise ship ever to be christened in the UK docked in Southampton today.
The MSC Bellissima, which cost £1billion to construct and can carry a total of 4,500 passengers, sailed in from Saint Nazaire where it was built and it will be christened at an official ceremony tomorrow evening, with Sophia Loren doing the honours.
Images reveal what the state-of-the-art ship looks like inside, with plush suites and ritzy restaurants. To top it off, there's a large waterpark on the roof.

In total, there are 12 different restaurants on board the Bellissima, serving everything from sushi to steaks, and 20 bars.
To make Brits feel at home, there is a classic pub or if it's a glass of bubbles passengers are after, there's a dedicated champagne bar, complete with 20 varieties.
Another highlight on the huge liner is a custom-build performance stage. MSC splashed £20 million on the attraction as part of its on-going collaboration with Cirque du Soleil.
The specialised theatre, with a circular stage and more intimate seating arrangement, allows acrobats to perform jaw-dropping stunts while at sea.
MSC Bellissima will become MSC Cruises' fourth mega-ship to come into service in less than three years as part of the company's ten-year €10.5 billion investment programme
