Record number of cruise ships on order!

At the present moment, there are 87 cruise ships on order between now and 2026 – that’s a new record!

MSC have the highest number on order being 10 while Norwegian Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean both have six ships on order each – two of which will be new Oasis Class ships for Royal Caribbean at 227,625 tons and 5,400 passengers a piece.

Some interesting facts:

The total number of extra berths (passengers) these ships will be able to take is 235, 500. That’s a lot of cabins to fill 🙂

19 of the 87 ships on order will be Expedition vessels.

8 of the ships on order are being designed primarily for the Chinese market.

The average cost of the ships is $660 million (!!)

13 shipyards are being used to complete the 87 ships with Fincantieri having 26 of those orders.

The average size of the new ship is just under 108,000 Tons.

The biggest ship on order is Royal Caribbean’s Oasis Class (x 2) and the smallest is Antarctica XXI’s 100-passenger, 4,900-ton Magellan Explorer.
