List of largest cruise ships

Cruise ships are large passenger ships used mainly for vacationing. Unlike ocean liners, which are used for transport, they typically embark on round-trip voyages to various ports-of-call, where passengers may go on tours known as "shore excursions."[1] They can carry thousands of passengers in a single trip, and are some of the largest ships in the world by gross tonnage (GT), bigger than many cargo ships. Cruise ships started to exceed ocean liners in size and capacity in the mid-1990s;[2] before then, few were more than 50,000 GT.[3] In the decades since, the size of the largest vessels has more than doubled.[4] There have been nine or more new cruise ships added every year since 2001, most of which are 100,000 GT or greater.[5] In the two decades between 1988 and 2009, the largest cruise ships grew a third longer (268 m to 360 m), almost doubled their widths (32.2 m to 60.5 m), doubled the total passengers (2,744 to 5,400), and tripled in volume (73,000 GT to 225,000 GT). As of June 2020, the largest cruise ship, Symphony of the Seas, has a gross tonnage of 228,081, is 361 metres (1,184 ft) long, 65.7 metres (216 ft) wide, and holds up to 6,680 passengers.[6][7]

Symphony of the Seas, the current largest cruise ship

Cruise ships are organized much like floating hotels, with a complete hospitality staff in addition to the usual ship's crew.[8] Modern cruise ships, while sacrificing some qualities of seaworthiness, have added amenities to cater to nautical tourists, with recent vessels being described as "balcony-laden floating condominiums".[9] The "megaships" went from a single deck with verandas to all decks with verandas,[10] and feature ameneties such as theaters, fine-dining and chain restaurants, spas, fitness centers, casinos, sports facilities, and even amusement park attractions.[1][11]

Cruise ships require electricity for powering both hotel services and for propulsion.[12] While early motor ships used a propeller directly driven by an engine, modern ships drive the propellers with electric motors. Since the heavy engines no longer need to be located near the propellers, this allows ships to grow longer without becoming aft-heavy.[13] Cruise ships are designed with all the heavy machinery at the bottom of the ship and lightweight materials at the top, making them inherently stable even as ship designs are getting taller and taller,[14] and most passenger ships utilize stabilizer fins to further reduce rolling of tall ships in heavy weather.[15] While some cruise ships use traditional fixed propellers and rudders to steer, most larger ships use propellers that can swivel left and right to steer the ship, known as azimuth thrusters, which allow even the largest ship designs to have adequate maneuverability.[16]

Cruise ships operated by cruise lines, which are companies that market cruises to the public. In the 1990s, many cruise lines were bought by much larger holding companies and continue to operate as brands or subsidiaries of the holding company. For instance, Carnival Corporation & plc owns both the mass-market Carnival Cruise Line, focused on larger party ships for younger travelers, and Holland America Line, whose smaller ships cultivate an image of classic elegance.[17] The common practice in the cruise industry in ship sales and orders is to list the smaller operating company, not the larger holding corporation, as the recipient cruise line of the ship.[18][19]

In service

As of March 2020,[20] there are 61 passenger ships over 120,000 GT in service. The first ships to over that size were the Voyager-class ships from Royal Caribbean Group's Royal Caribbean International (RCI). These ships, which debuted in 1998 at over 137,000 GT, were almost 30,000 GT larger than the next-largest cruise ships, and were some of the first ships designed to appeal to "non-cruisers", with features like a 4-deck-high, 400-foot-long (120 m) atrium down the center of the ship, an ice rink, and a climbing wall.[1] In 2005, the five Voyager-class ships were overtaken by the 149,215 GT Queen Mary 2, the first non-RCI passenger ship over 120,000 GT and the only passenger ship currently in service that classifies itself as an ocean liner. The QM2 was surpassed by RCI's 155,889-GT Freedom-class vessels in 2006, which were in turn overtaken by RCI's first of six planned Oasis-class vessels in 2009.[21] The Oasis-class ships, at over 225,000 GT, are at least 154 feet (47 m) wide, 240 feet (73 m) high, and accommodate over 5,400 passengers.[22]

Since 2008, other cruise lines have been ordering 120,000+ GT ships. MSC Cruises introduced the first of four 137,936–139,072-GT Fantasia-class cruise ships in 2008,[23] followed in 2017 by both the 153,516-GT Seaside class and the 171,598–181,541-GT Meraviglia class.[24] Norwegian Cruise Line debuted the 155,873-GT Norwegian Epic in 2010, the first ship outside of the Oasis class with a double-occupancy capacity of over 4,000,[25] and introduced the 145,655-GT Breakaway class in 2013 and the 165,157–169,116-GT Breakaway-plus class in 2015.[26] Cruise lines belonging to Carnival Corporation & plc, Princess Cruises and P&O Cruises, debuted the first of seven 142,714-GT+ Royal-class ships in 2013,[27] and the corporation's Carnival Cruise Line, Costa Cruises, and AIDA Cruises debuted the first of seven planned 133,596–135,225-GT Vista-class ships in 2016.[28] AIDAnova, the first of Carnival Corporation's nine planned Excellence-class ships, debuted in 2018 at 183,858 GT, with future ships in the class planned for Costa, P&O, Carnival, and AIDA.[29] In 2016 and 2017, Genting Hong Kong's Dream Cruises introduced the 150,695-GT Genting Dream and World Dream, the first large ships from an Asian-owned cruise line.[30]

1. Ships are ranked by gross tonnage and subsequently by the date they entered service.
2. The cruise line that currently operates the ship, which in some cases may be different than the line that ordered the ship or from the holding company that technically owns it
3. The year the ship originally entered service, which in some cases may not the year it started service under the listed cruise line or with the listed name
4. Ship dimensions are sourced from the appropriate classification society whenever possible.
5. Some classification societies, such as Registro Italiano Navale only list length between perpendiculars, not length overall, in which case length data is provided by other sources.
6. Passenger capacity excludes crew.
7. Width at the widest point anywhere on the ship's height
8. Width at the widest point as measured at the ship's nominal waterline
9. Where official sources do not specify double occupancy capacity or lower berths capacity, this list assumes two passengers per stateroom (some ships have small rooms that only count as a single passenger when calculating double-occupancy).
10. Maximum capacity of the ship, usually determined by total number of beds and/or SOLAS safety standards
11. This ship was the largest passenger ship in the world when it debuted.
12. This number assumes only single occupancy of certain staterooms designed for only one passenger.

On order

As of March 2020,[20] there are 42 passenger ships on order or under construction with a publicly announced size of over 120,000 GT. The largest are two Oasis-class ships being built for Royal Caribbean International (RCI) for 2021 and 2023, and while their exact sizes are unknown, RCI CEO Michael Bayley has said that each new Oasis-class ship will be a little larger than the last.[159] RCI also has three 200,000-GT Icon-class cruise ships on order, with expected delivery between 2022 and 2025,[160] and a fifth Quantum-class ship on order for late 2020.[161] Celebrity Cruises, which is owned by RCI's parent company Royal Caribbean Group, will introduce three larger 140,600-GT Edge-class ships in 2021, 2022, and 2024,[162] and TUI Cruises, a joint venture between Royal Caribbean Group and TUI Group, are introducing a new class of 161,000-GT cruise ships in 2024 and 2026.[163]

Dream Cruises is planning to take delivery of two 208,000-GT Global-class ships in 2021 and 2022, which will be the first ships over 200,000 GT not built for RCI and will have the largest maximum passenger capacity, 9,000, of any ship.[164][165]

MSC Cruises has four World-class ships planned for 2022, 2024, 2025, and 2027, and at 205,700 GT and a capacity of 6,850 passengers, they will have the highest passengers capacities of any ship and be the largest ships operated by a European cruise line.[166][167] They also have two ships from each of the Meraviglia Plus class and the Seaside Evo class on order for delivery from 2020 to 2023.[168]

Carnival Corporation has seven more 183,200–183,900-GT Excellence-class ships planned to debut between 2020 and 2023 for Costa Cruises, P&O Cruises, Carnival Cruise Line, and AIDA Cruises.[29] Costa will also take delivery of the fifth 135,000-GT Vista-class ship in 2020, and two more Vista-class ships are planned in 2023 and 2024 for a joint venture between Carnival Corporation and China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC).[169] Carnival's Princess Cruises will take delivery of the last two Royal-class ships in 2020 and 2021, planned at 144,650 GT each.[170]

Each year from 2022 to 2027, Norwegian Cruise Line will debut a ship from Project Leonardo. The six ships are expected to be 140,000 GT and carry 3,300 passengers.[171]

Disney Cruise Line will launch three 144,000-GT Triton-class ships in 2021, 2022, and 2023. These ships will have 1,250 staterooms, like the line's previous two ships, but will be 14,000 GT larger than those ships and powered by liquified natural gas fuel.[172]
