The above information is accurate as of publication. As with all aspects of the
cruise industry, the information is subject to change.
Current tonnage on order now amounts to over 4.2 million gross tons. The
majority of the most recent contracts lean heavily toward vessels over 100,000
gross tons or nearly so, including the latest and largest ships for Aida,
Carnival, Costa, Princess Cruises, Holland America Line, MSC Cruises, Royal
Caribbean, TUI Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line. As these newbuilds come on
line, the cruise industry will continue to see significant expansion, with ever
larger ships. |
