Eventually we will have ships that are 25 miles long, five miles wide and about 200 stories high.
That's about 1/5 the size of Long Island by the way.

Royal Caribbean’s new “Oasis” class ships, like “Allure of the Seas, is almost 1,200 fett long, and 225,000 tons!

I suspect that we're probably pretty close to the upper limit now. A ship 25 miles long would have to deal with bending around the curvature of the earth.
