Hapag-Lloyd Cruises is increasing the expedition fleet: this year the 239 bed »Hanseatic nature« and »Hanseatic inspiration« will replace the »Hanseatic« and by 2021 a third one will be added. •• Viking Ocean Cruises will commission the sixth of the 928-bed series. In former years, a few elderly ships had been in lay-up for different reasons and came back again someday. This development seems to come to an end. The German »Delphin«, formerly the Russian »Belorussiya« (1975), which came into Indian hands later, is since several years said to come back to service, but finally the deals didn’t realize. With increasing pressure from many new ships her time seems to be over after more than 40 years. The total number of ships and tonnage on order is higher than ever before. Together with a few new orders reported 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 just days after the start of 2019, there are now again more than 100 ships on order. Including options, MoUs, LoIs. etc. there are about 140 new cruise vessels in the books of the shipyards, excluding river and coastal vessels. Most passenger shipyards are fully booked over several years and the first slots in 2027 are taken. It’s good that the capacity of experienced shipyards is limited, otherwise newcomers would enter the business faster and destroy the market balance. The leading brands last year Since the Carnival Group fleet passed the milestone of 100 ships, further growth is relatively slow regarding the number of ships; the tonnage and capacity, however, are going up steadily. At the end of 2018 there was only one ship more in the fleet but 13,000 beds more than one year before. The brands Carnival Cruise Lines, Holland America Cruises, Seabourne and 2017 end '18 © Hader AIDA got a new ship. The last-named is the most interesting one, because it is the first big passenger ship worldwide relying on LNG as fuel and it is the first 5,000 beds giant for the group. Eight more such LNG giants are in the order book of the Meyer Group for various Carnival brands, the next one is for Costa Crociere. As long as only two or three ships are being phased out per year, the fleet growth is secured for some more years. The Royal Caribbean group has 12,000 beds more compared to last year, but also eleven ships more due to the acquisition of two thirds of the shares of Silversea Cruises. This is why the average size of the ships is not the highest anymore (133,088 GT) but just below 100,000 GT. Further additions to the fleet include the first ship of the new »Celebrity Edge« class and the fourth of the »Oasis« class. This »Symphony of the Seas« (228,081 GT, 5,518 lower beds) is currently holding the title for »largest passenger 80000 70000 Average GT 1998 - 2018 60000 50000 40000 30000 20000 10000 0 1998 2003 2008 2013 2018 © Hader 32 HANSA International Maritime Journal – 156.

The fifth one of the series and some more large ships are under construction. Luxury brand Silversea Cruises will also follow the growth path in the Royal Caribbean Group.

Afterwards, NCL switches over to Fincantieri as supplier of new tonnage. The coming »Leonardo« series with 3,300 beds was meanwhile increased to six contracts and a few weeks ago the planning for the luxury brands was made 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 public: Regent Seven Seas will have two new 750-bed ships by 2020 and 2023 and Oceania Cruises two new 1,200-bed vessels by 2022 and 2025. If no ship is retired, the fleet will grow from 26 to 37 ships. No. 4 of the world’s cruise companies is the Mediterranean Shipping Co.
