Future Cruise Ship Orders
After a lull in new ship introductions in 2004 and 2005, we can expect to enjoy a bit of a boom in 2006 and beyond. Since cruise ships take as much as two to three years to design and build, cruise lines need to plan ahead -- and there's nothing we love more than snagging a peek at those first facts and figures. Curious about what's launching down the line? Mark your calendars....
