When will it ever stop ?…….

I think its safe to say we have no worries in our line of work as this industry is forever growing and it’s at a rapid pace !!!!!

The next 10 years will see at least 112 new cruise ships introduced to the ocean which amounts to approximately 268,000 berths according to the Cruise Industry News cruise ship orderbook.

Its great to see what the cruise lines have in store and also what pattern they are making. When you look below one of the first things that stands out to me is MSC are getting bigger and bigger and the ships are getting larger !!

The other thing which is really interesting is the high number of luxury ships that are being built especially Viking 12 ships over the next few years is huge.

What more can they possibly introduce to these new ships though it seems they are all out to break the record of the ‘ firsts at sea ‘. The ships are getting smarter with more technology

What would you like to see on a cruise ship?

Where would you like cruise ships to go to that they don’t already visit?

Just look what the orderbook looks like from the more familiar cruise lines up to 2027
