A total of 19 new cruise ships are expected to make their debut this year — including the biggest cruise ship in the world by gross tonnage.
The Norwegian Viva. Norwegian Cruise Line
Eight ships with a gross tonnage of more than 100,000 each are set to debut this year, according to a consolidated order book by Cruise Industry News. These ships are so massive that they dwarf the Titanic — which was once the largest ship in the world — several times over. The Titanic, in comparison, had a gross tonnage of 46,329.
Several of these ships belong to prominent cruise lines like Carnival and Norwegian, but Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas is arguably the most anticipated of the new ships. It’s not only the biggest cruise ship expected this year in terms of gross tonnage and capacity, but it’s also expected to become the world’s largest cruise ship by gross tonnage.
Check out the biggest cruise ships that are expected to set sail for the first time this year. Entrants are arranged from smallest to largest in terms of their gross tonnage.
