In fact, cargo and ferry operators are already exploring wind power as a way to move the maritime industry forward. Plotting where a ship that relies on wind power alone is also tricky, as itineraries have to be centered on destinations with reliable trade winds. In addition, Silver Dawn will include the line’s culinary immersion program S.A.L.T., which debuted in 2021 to rave reviews.

And French company Zephyr & Borée built Canopée, a 400-foot-long cargo ship fitted with four articulated sails. A variety of sustainable fuel initiatives would operate the ship, Petiteau said. While the idea is to have the ship run on wind power at least 50% of the time, the vessel would also have liquid hydrogen fuel cells and solar power, and also batteries that could be recharged at shore.

Cruise Passengers Top 31 Million in 2023 as Industry Thrives
Viking is jumping into expedition cruising in a big way in 2022 by adding a pair of 378-passenger ships aimed at polar adventure. It will then move to the Great Lakes for the summer, before heading back to the White Continent. Viking Polaris arrives in summer 2022 and will spend its season in Norway and the Far Arctic before heading south to Antarctica. Here you'll find them all - from small to big to the ever-largest passenger ships from the fleets of RCG-Royal Caribbean, Carnival Corporation, NCLH-Norwegian and MSC.
French Ports Ready for Record-Breaking Cruise Season
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. Brilliant Lady will be identical to her three sister ships -- Scarlet Lady, Valiant Lady and Resilient Lady - offering 86 percent balcony cabins and 78 suites called Rockstar Quarters. There will be more than 20 eateries onboard, ranging from steaks and seafood to vegetarian, a test kitchen, Mexican, and a Korean Barbeque, all of which are complimentary.
The Future of Cruises and the Cruise Industry, 2022 and Beyond
Early word on the ship notes nine dining "experiences" and cabins that start at a generous 377 square feet. Outdoor space will be highlighted with 64 private pool cabanas across three outdoor pools; a fourth pool will have a retractable glass roof to allow swimming in any weather. The first ship in the luxury Silversea fleet to have all balconies, Silver Nova will debut in summer 2023.
Ships like Allure of the Seas, which was due for amplification in 2020, do not have any enhancements scheduled. There is no set opening date for Perfect Day at Lelepa, although it is expected to open within the next few years. Approximately 3 million passengers visit CocoCay each year, whereas Perfect Day at Lelepa is estimated to accommodate around 800,000 visitors per year. Richard Marnell, vice president of sales and marketing for Viking, says the benefits include significant cost savings and speed of construction. Apart from this, cruisers aren’t likely to notice big modifications across the industry.
New Carnival Corporation ships 2019-2024
Carrying 2,770 passengers, the ship will have a similar design and attitude to Scarlet Lady and Valiant Lady. Expect fun parties, delicious food and plenty of opportunities to detox and retox. Highlights include another new Carnival cruise ship (with a roller coaster!); and multiple new ships from MSC Cruises, both in the mainstream and -- for the first time -- the luxury category. New cruise ships debut every year, but 2023 looks like a particularly exciting one. Explora Journeys is transforming luxury cruises by inspiring you to travel further, immerse deeper, and linger a little longer. The cruise line has yet to announce specific itineraries for the ship but it will sail to the Bahamas and the Caribbean.

Explora Journeys’ Explora I
Some are 700-square-foot, two-level lofts with the bedroom downstairs and living room area upstairs. Whichever type of suite you choose, a personal assistant will be at your beck and call. The fourth of six Prima-class ships from Norwegian Cruise Line, Norwegian Aqua will be the line's first next-generation Prima Plus class vessel. Favorites from the Prima class such as the Ocean Boulevard and Infinity Beach outdoor spaces will be back, both of which will be expanded for more spacious lounging and relaxing.
Norwegian Prima is First-in-Class with New Slides, a Race Track and Vegas-Style Nightlife
The popular Meyer Werft has unveiled its 2024 vision for the future of cruise ship design. The shipbuilder has released a new concept every year since 2021, which introduces design and construction features that later influence cruise ship production. In the past few years, American Cruise Lines has revamped the expectation of what riverboats on U.S. rivers should look like by introducing a more modern style of ship. These ships do not have paddlewheels; instead, the 175-passenger vessels look more like a hotel on land with a four-story glass atrium in the center of the ship. ACL ships are known for having some of the largest cabins in river cruising, with most ranging from 250 to 650 square feet.
One visible design change is a sharper bow profile replacing the bulbous pod design. The design reduces speed loss in waves, creating more fuel efficiency and reducing emissions. At a September 2023 event at the Explorers Club in New York, Petiteau said the line has ambitious plans to have an as-yet-unnamed 190-passenger ship built by 2030. A rendering of the ship showed six sails on a 611-foot vessel with 95 cabins, 3 restaurants, a detox bar, a wellness cafe and a spa. An increased focus on public rooms that connect with the sea will be showcased aboard MSC Seashore, with some 70 percent of all public spaces being completely redesigned from the ship's predecessors, MSC Seaside and MSC Seaview. But, like its fleetmates, MSC Seascape will offer some of the most distinctive features of this class, including the massive Waterfront promenade and the spectacular glass-floored "Bridge of Sighs" perched 16 decks above the water.
This 82-feet-by-164-feet space will feature 600 panes of glass and contain a signature AquaTheater, as well as restaurants and Royal's first food hall, the AquaDome Market. Following the Explora I, the Explora II is set to become Explora Journey’s second ultra-luxury ship. Under construction at the Fincantieri shipyard in Italy, the 922-guest will kick off its inaugural season in the Mediterranean on August 11, 2024. Ushering a new era for Princess Cruises, the new Sun Princess is set to enter service in the Mediterranean in early February. The first in a new series of LNG-powered vessels, the 4,300-guest vessel will become Princess’ largest ever ship while introducing several new features, such as a family activity zone and a multi-use geodesic dome.
It’s more than ocean vistas in every direction; it’s being immersed in the world around you like never before. The heartbeat of our ship, our Piazza may have been inspired by the town squares of Europe, but her evolution is out of this world. Enjoy a Latin-inspired concert choreographed by Liz Imperio, known for working with Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, and Gloria Estefan. The show features popular Latin soundtrack favorites like "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You" by Miami Sound Machine and "Hips Don’t Lie" by Shakira. Our most technologically advanced performance space can shapeshift into different designs, even in the round, to suit all our new production shows.
An evolution of the class of ships that first debuted more than a decade ago, the line says the signature Oasis Class experience will be combined with brand-new thrills for passengers of all ages. Utopia will boast some impressive numbers, including eight neighborhoods, 20 types of accommodations, including the new Solarium Suites, and more than 20 dining venues. Under construction at the Fincantieri shipyard in Italy, the luxury vessel is set to spend its inaugural season offering winter cruises in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe. A second U.S.-built cruise ship is entering service in 2024, the American Legend. Under construction at the Chesapeake shipyard in Maryland, the 109-guest ship will spend its inaugural season offering American Cruise Line’s Florida Gulf Coast & Keys Cruise.
The 82-passenger AmaLilia will join AmaDahlia to offer itineraries that begin with a pre-cruise stay in Cairo before joining the ship in Luxor for a roundtrip sail. The Scandinavian design ethic will be present, along with fantastic restaurants and a thermal spa that are all included in the fare. Silver Nova will also be the line's first ship to have a pool on the side of the ship, as opposed to being enclosed. Expect the line's highly regarded S.A.L.T. culinary program to play a starring role among a roster that has a high bar of eight restaurants.
Closing out Royal Caribbean’s Oasis Class, the Utopia of the Seas is set to welcome guests for its inaugural cruise on July 22, 2024. In a first for the company, the LNG-powered newbuild will spend its maiden season offering short cruises to the Bahamas departing from Port Canaveral. In 2022, the company unveiled a private yacht concept, the TWO10, which featured sustainable propulsion solutions that have found their way to cruise ships, for example, with fuel cells and battery systems onboard Silversea’s Silver Nova. 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 6,700-passenger Utopia of the Seas follows the line's crowd-pleasing Oasis-class layout in July with the signature Central Park and Boardwalk neighborhoods, as well as the Ultimate Abyss slide. Cunarders love tradition, but they have also been waiting a long time for a new ship from the grande dame line. The 12-year drought ends in May 2024, with the introduction of the 3,000-passenger Queen Anne.
