Perched out of a helicopter with his camera in hand , New York-based photographer Jeffrey Milstein has captured spectacular views of giant cruise ships from above . Milstein 's Cruise Ships series gives a bird's-eye view of the huge floating holiday vessels . The New York-based photographer uses high-resolution camera equipment to capture views from a helicopter with an open door . They include the Disney Dream , which features a nine-hole mini-golf course , 11 nightclubs and lounges and the first 'water roller coaster ' : a 765-foot long winding waterslide called the AquaDuck that goes through the ship 's funnel . Scroll down for video . The Royal Caribbean Majesty of the Seas and Freedom of the Seas are photographed from above by Milstein in a helicopter . And this is how the majestic cruise ships look from the side as they force their way through the sea , the Majesty of the Seas on the left , and the Freedom of the Seas on the right . Milstein also shot the fourth largest cruise ship in the world in the form of the Royal Caribbean Freedom of the Seas . The $ 800 million vessel can accommodate 3,634 passengers and 1,300 crew on 15 passenger decks . Mr Milstein said : 'Giant cruise ships , over three football fields long , have become unique floating cities . Photographed symmetrically from directly above in very high resolution , the large gallery prints , up to 74 inches , show the viewer a detailed view not commonly seen . 'The ships can be seen with their passengers lounging on deck chairs , playing on water park slides , putting greens , running tracks , and basketball courts . They have a curious beauty and tell us something about how we as a culture form instant communities for shared recreation and relaxation . The Disney Dream cruise ship is radiant in the sea with a nice clash of lighting , while right , The Carnival Victory can cater for 2,754 people and is an awesome sight at night . Disney Dream looks somewhat different when viewed from land , showing its height and the navy and red livery , and right , The Carnival Victory is an imposing sight . The Caribbean Princess has a giant poolside movie theatre that will impress , while right , The Carnival Victory has fine dining throughout . The modern Caribbean Princess ship offers all the comforts of home and more , with space for 3,082 guests and all of the signature features . 'The ships which continue to be built larger and larger are fascinating to ponder as engineering marvels . Seen as a typology , they share a common symmetry derived from function , yet juxtapose design elements both decorative and functional that set them apart . 'This ongoing series which began in 2013 , is related to the Aircraft series which I have been shooting for over 15 years . I take most of these photos using an 80 mpxl digital medium format camera with a gyro stabilizer , shooting from a helicopter with the door off . ' The large highly detailed gallery prints will be on exhibit at Benrubi Gallery in Manhattan , from July 9 until August 22 . The Carnival Sensation has three waterslides , and makes two trips a day to the Bahamas from the US ; pictured right is the Norwegian Sky Cruise Ship has 13 dining rooms and 12 bars . Carnival Sensation is immediately recognisable thanks to its forked funnel , a feature on every Carnival vessel , while pictured right is the Norwegian Sky Cruise Ship , with a very different look .
