To celebrate the launch of the new 18-deck, 151,695-ton cruise ship, “World Dream”, the Hong Kong tourism company, Dream Cruises, built a large-scale replica out of LEGO. The replica entered into the Guinness World Records.
Containing more than 2.5 million LEGO blocks, the ship model weighs over 2,800 kg and measures 8.44 m (27.7 ft) long, 1.33 m (4.36 ft) wide and 1.53 m (5 ft) tall.
The giant model ship was built by more than 1,000 cruise line guests and members of the public, and after two months of building, it was officially unveiled at Kai Tak Cruise Terminal.
Kent Zhu, President of Genting Cruise Lines mentioned:
We celebrate the first milestone achieved by World Dream – the successful breaking of a Guinness World Records title, an honour that we share with cruise enthusiasts from around the world who joined us as we turned this dream into reality.
