The world's largest cruise liner, the Oasis of the Seas, has set sail for Miami from the Finnish shipyard where it was built.

The 1,200 foot (360 metre) ship has a price tag of almost £1bn ($1.5bn) and was commissioned by Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. It is due to begin cruises out of Florida in December.
