The ship has been preserved and is today a museum and hotel moored in Long Beach, California. Passenger embarkations/debarkations are at floating hubs (platforms at sea) installed at the fjord's mouth and outside the itinerary's seaports. Unlike the scheduled cruise ship refurbishments, major refits may include even a cruise ship lengthening, like in the case of Royal Caribbean ship Enchantment of the Seas lengthened in 2005 (see the photo below).
Cruise Passengers Top 31 Million in 2023 as Industry Thrives
A Norwegian architectural firm unveiled a blueprint for a sleek-looking, wind-powered catamaran cruise ship. The futuristic design of the vessel, called Seabreeze, features retractable platforms that would bring cruisers closer to the water when conditions permit. Cruise ships pollute the places they visit and, over the years, have battered Venice so badly that the government had to (sort of) ban them from the lagoon. And then there’s the efficiency with which the shipboard lifestyle promotes a lively assortment of respiratory and gastrointestinal illnesses.
How To Choose The Best Cruise Ship Cabin For You
AmaWaterways, which charters select river ships to Adventures by Disney for family sailings, designed its latest ships with some connecting cabins -- a feature rare in river ships. Virgin Voyages asked London-based design firm PearsonLloyd and its own design team to create standard cabins that were spaces for socializing, not just sleeping. Scarlet Lady's cabins feature a custom-designed Seabed that converts into a sofa for daytime hangouts. Cabins with a balcony (called a Sea Terrace) are equipped with a custom-designed hammock.

And, of course, there is the Magic Carpet, the cantilevered floating platform that has caused such a stir in the industry. Previously known primarily for American river cruises, American Queen Voyages will be making its first foray into expedition cruising with the 186-passenger small ship, Ocean Victory. The ship will debut in Alaska in summer 2022, running an itinerary that includes big name marquee ports and smaller, out-of-the way locales. Chief among the changes is a re-imaging of Celebrity's wellness program, led by actress and lifestyle maven Gwyneth Paltrow (who is now also the line’s Well-Being Advisor). New suites are being added in AquaClass and The Retreat -- Celebrity's resort for suite passengers -- is 40 percent larger than on other ships.
SunStone's "World-Class" expedition cruise ship design
What’s exciting about Viking Mississippi is that the ship will have many of the onboard features that people already love on other Viking vessels. There will be a two-story Explorers’ Lounge observation area; the Aquavit Terrace outdoor dining venue; an infinity pool and sun deck. There’s also a new outdoor seating area known as The Bow, which promises excellent views of the river. Plenty of inclusions are also on offer, such as beer, wine and soft drinks with lunch and dinner; a complimentary shore excursion per day; lectures; Wi-Fi and free room service.
The light-filled public space includes pops of color via bohemian macrame-like hanging chairs and plant installations, in addition to the bar in Eden Cafe. P&O style was a form of German modernism in the 1930s, and its influence can still be seen today, such as with this recent design of the Plaster Fun House by Sans-Arc Studio in South Australia.

The propulsion system is based on aft-located twin-screw propellers (fixed) and two fore-located tunnel thrusters (for better maneuverability in ports and anchorages). In sail-assisted mode, two fin stabilizers limit the ship's heel/listing to just 6 degrees. Similar is the concept of Peace Boat's new vessel Ecoship (built by Arctech Helsinki Shipyard in Helsinki, Finland). The above is STX France's Project Ulysseas (145 m length, 200 passengers) was officially revealed in March 2015. Based on these dimensions, the new ship was to be of the same general size as Ponant's fleet, the latest of which (Le Lyrial) was built at Fincantieri's Shipyard Ancona Italy. Uljanik has not disclosed the identity of the purchaser, but new ships are also expected from Lindblad and Seabourn in 2018.
Anna Drescher, the cruise line's manager of architectural design, newbuilding and innovation calls Icon of the Seas℠ a "white-paper ship" because it began with a blank sheet of sketching paper. Jason Leppert - Senior Writer, Cruises and Cruise Travel - is a San Diego-based cruising expert with more than 100 sailings... The ship's superstructure is outlined from different views to map out proportions and placements of decks above and below the waterline. But ultimately, the key difference comes down to the fact that instead of designing for a place—you are designing the place. "On a ship, every day you open the window and you are looking at new sights," explains Riveire.
As seen in the photos, the bow color is Royal Caribbean’s signature baby blue color, which matches the coloring of the hull. The cruise line’s newest ships have started to feature this new light blue coloring, with Royal Caribbean choosing to phase out its classic white-colored hulls. As if launching MSC Seascape in 2022 wasn’t enough, MSC Cruises is dreaming even bigger with an all-new class of ship. MSC World Europa will carry 5,079 passengers (at full occupancy) and will boast 22 decks, immediately becoming the longest, tallest and largest ship in the entire fleet.
This is, in part, due to an increased understanding of different cultures, but also because of increased awareness of – and immersion into – new and unique events around the world. Pointy bows only came back into vogue with the age of streamlining in the 1930s, starting with Cunard Line’s Queen Mary. The fashion probably reached its peak with the dramatically jutting prow of Crystal Cruises’ Crystal Symphony.

The Enchantment ship lengthening cost ~ US$55 million, it was a process of cutting the ship in two and inserting a whole new 73 ft (22 m) 3,500 tons midsection, pre-built at the Aker Finnyards. Charterers of these ships are the travel brand companies AQV-American Queen Voyages, Aurora Expeditions (fleet), Albatros Expeditions (fleet). Damen's cruise vessel is "battery ready", which means it could be equipped with a battery system for peak-shaving (reducing peak demand), providing supplementary power for maneuvering or silent drive operations. The hybrid propulsion is the best fuel-efficient technology currently available, allowing service speed 16 knots (30 kph / 18 mph) and max speed 18 knots (33 kph / 21 mph).
Even on the outdoor decks, where there is nothing much to do besides lie in the sun and drink, passengers can search out varying degrees of intimacy or public display. Whereas previous cruise ship designers have gone for a nautical look or colorful, whimsical design, cruise lines are hiring land-based designers to give cabins a modern look that's more chic hotel or comfortable home than captain's quarters. Cabin color schemes are morphing from seafaring blues to more subtle, neutral tones. After World War II, once commercial airplanes made crossing the ocean much quicker than traveling by ship and the glamorous ocean liners of the past were too costly to operate, the industry had to reinvent itself. For instance, Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth 2, designed by James Gardner and Dennis Lennon, debuted in 1969 with exterior detailing resembling a yacht, and sunken green leather sofas and plenty of Formica and chrome inside.
