I was looking at a website fulled with cruise ships. The Queen Mary 2 is still the largest ship in the world.

i know brittanoi is the biggest ship on the sea bed today they is no over bigger then her on the sea bed that what this means

You asked for the biggest ship in the world not the biggest ship in the sea bed.

As of 2004, the biggest ship ever built is the Norwegian-owned tanker Jahre Viking (ex-Happy Giant, ex-Seawise Giant).

Built in Japan in 1979, her cargo capacity was increased when an extra section was added to her enormous hull in 1980. Over 400 metres long and measuring 260,851 gross register tons, she has a cargo capacity (deadweight tonnage) of 564,763 tons.

By ship we mean, Cruise ship/passenger ship. Not any other ship.

gee sorry...just saw biggest ship...and you said in one post that the freedom of the seas is then you said the QM2....it is the Qm2 for the largest cruise ship....
