Currently, almost 400 cruise ships ply the sea. They can take on board about 650,000 passengers. Their comfort is provided by 222,000 crew members. Their average tonnage is 57,200 tons. For comparison, the tonnage of the legendary Titanic was 40,000 tons. In the next 10 years, 36 cruise companies at 17 shipyards ordered another 118 liners worth $ 66.5 billion, the average tonnage of which will be 97,726 tons, and the capacity - 2440 passengers.

Cruise ships are categorized by size:

Very big. Tonnage over 130,000 tons. These are real giants. There are only 36 such liners, and 23 more are planned to be built. The record holder is Symphony of the Seas of the Royal Caribbean Oasis class with a displacement of 228.081 tons - currently the largest ship in the world. It can take on board up to 6500 passengers. No company in the world is yet planning to build even larger vessels.

Large. Tonnage from 50.000 to 130.000 tons. The most massive size. There are 125 such liners. An important parameter of these liners is the width. For most of them (88), it does not exceed 32m. This allows them to pass through the Panama Canal.

Medium. Tonnage from 25 to 50 thousand tons. Liners of this size are typical for premium and luxury companies. Popular standard class companies have practically none.

Small. Tonnage from 5 to 25 thousand tons. Such vessels are mainly operated by forwarding and luxury companies. In the latter, such liners are often called "boutique liner". Due to the small number of passengers and the high level of service.

Very small. Displacement up to 5000 tons. This size is typical for forwarding and sailing companies. It is difficult to call them liners. In fact, these are yachts designed for several dozen passengers.

Cruise ships can be both unique, built in one copy, and a mass series (project). The most numerous project at present is the Grand class, whose vessels form the backbone of the Princess Cruises fleet (9 liners). P&O Cruises has 2 more ships of this project.

Project liners are very similar in appearance and design Destiny, Conquest, Concordia. Carnival Cruise Lines and Costa Cruises operate 15 such liners in total. 11 class liners Vista sail under the flags of Holland America, Cunard, Costa, P&O Cruises.

Clue- if you do not have enough information on the liner, we recommend that you look at the description of other vessels of this project. Usually the cabins and layout are identical. Interiors may vary slightly.

Like the companies to which they belong, cruise ships are divided into classes according to the level of service:

• standard
• premium
• lux.

There is also an intermediate class Upper Premium, which includes liners from Oceania, Azamara and Viking Ocean Cruises.

Moreover, ships of the same project (the same structurally) can be of a different class. For example, Queen Elizabeth belongs to the premium class, and Arcadia belongs to the standard class. Although these are identical liners.

On cruise ships no official stardom. If on any site you see "stars" at the liners, this is nothing more than a marketing ploy.

Service coefficient The number of passengers is divided by the number of crew members.

It is believed that the fewer passengers per 1 team member, the higher the service should be. best service on liners where there are no more than 2 passengers per 1 crew member.

For most liners, it is in the range of 2-3 and does not exceed 4. This is a rather controversial coefficient, because. the newest liners due to automation and the introduction of new technologies have a smaller number of crew. But this does not mean that the service on them is worse than on ships of earlier construction. An example is the innovative modern Quantum of the Seas, which has a service factor of 3.22.

You can find out which ports the liner has recently visited and which ships have called at the port on the websites

Since ancient times, people have traveled the seas, gradually improving their ships. Modern shipbuilding is very developed, and the range of ships has become extremely diverse. But the TOP of the most big ships in the world, which will be discussed below.

1. Seawise Giant (Knock Nevis)

Deadweight - 564 700 tons.
. Length - 458.5 m.
. Year of construction - 1979.
. Last country of registration: Sierra Leone. Dismantled for scrap.

The largest ship in the world until 2010 was the supertanker " Knock Nevis”, built in 1975 in the Japanese city of Yokosuka. Before changing several names, he had a simple number 1016. But the cyclopean dimensions actually ruined him - the tanker could not pass through either the Panama or the Suez Canal, even in the English Channel it would run aground, so move from ocean to ocean could only take a roundabout way.
During the Iran-Iraq war in 1988, an Iraqi missile hit him and seriously damaged him. As a result, the supertanker sank in Persian Gulf close to the coast. After the end of the conflict, he was raised from the bottom and towed to Singapore, where they were able to restore in 1991, giving him a new "optimistic" name "Happy Giant". But as a tanker, no one needed it, so it began to serve as a floating oil storage. Finally, in 2009, the "lucky" was sent on his last journey to the Indian shores, where the next year he was cut into scrap metal.

A lot of people would love to ride on cable car in order to experience all the extraordinary sensations caused by such a move...

2. Pierre Guillaumat

Deadweight - 555,000 tons.
. Length - 414.2 m.
. Year of construction - 1977.
. Last country of registration: France. Cut up for scrap.

In the family of twin ships of the Batillus series, this supertanker is the largest in terms of deadweight. It was built at French shipyards, worked for nothing at all - 5 years, after which it was mercilessly sent in 1983 to South Korea, where it turned into scrap metal. The rest of his brothers from the same series shared his fate. The reasons for such an inglorious death in all cases were the same problems with the impossibility of passing through the Suez and Panama canals.

3 Esso Atlantic

Deadweight - 516 900 tons.
. Length - 406.5 m.
. Year of construction - 1977.
. Last country of registration: Liberia. Cut up for scrap.

At one time, this oil supertanker was also a deadweight champion. It was built in Japan, and made its first commercial route from African Liberia, where the company owner Esso Tankers registered it under the Liberian flag. Most often, the tanker transported oil from the Middle East to Europe. But in 2002, the end came to him - in Pakistan, he was cut into scrap metal. He was practically a twin ship "Esso Pacific", but despite the "Pacific" name, he was smaller than the "Atlantic brother".

4. Emma Maersk

Deadweight - 156 900 tons.
. Length - 397 m.
. Year of construction - 2006.
. Last country of registration: Denmark. It is still in operation.

This is the first ship of eight identical container ships of the E-class series, built by the Danish holding Moller-Maersk Group. At the time of her first voyage in 2006, she was the world's largest floating ship. "Emma Maersk" carries a variety of cargo between Asia and America, following through the Suez Canal and the Strait of Gibraltar.
This ship has a not very successful history - when its construction was already being completed, a fire broke out on the upper deck, which seriously damaged the brand new ship. Needed some repairs which were done quickly. In 2013, a new misfortune happened - right in the middle of the Suez Canal, one of the dry cargo ship's power plants broke down, as a result of which it lost control. Fortunately, both the ship and the canal remained intact.
Europeans do not favor the giant for its use of sulfur-rich fuel. Like many giant ships, Emma does not fit into the Panama Canal, therefore Pacific Ocean it is closed for her (not around Cape Horn to sail there!).

5.TI Class

Deadweight - 441 600 tons.
. Length - 380 m.
. Year of construction - 2003.
. Last country of registration: Belgium. It is still in operation.

This double-hulled ship had the largest deadweight and gross tonnage of its time. In total, four completely identical ships were built: two "TI Africa" ​​and "TI Oceania" under the flag of the Marshall Islands, "TI Europe" under the Belgian flag and "TI Asia". But in 2010, floating platform-terminals for storing and shipping oil products were made from "Asia" and "Africa", since then they have been working on a layup near one of the Qatari offshore oil fields.

This is the largest American nuclear strike aircraft carrier, the first to operate a nuclear power plant. He began acting in 1961. A series of six similar hulks was planned, but only the Enterprise was built. Its cost resulted in an incredible 451 million of those more dollars, so even the bottomless US budget could not afford such expenses. In length, it is the largest warship in the world. Having refueled once with nuclear fuel, the aircraft carrier acquired autonomy for 13 years of active service and could cover a million nautical miles during this time. In February 2017, the Enterprise was sent to an honorary retirement - for the US Navy, this was the first farewell to a nuclear aircraft carrier.
