Norwegian orders fleet of its largest ever cruise ships Passengers will have four new, larger NCL ships to choose from by 2036.
That makes each vessel slightly smaller than the world’s largest cruise ship, Icon of the Seas, which has a gross tonnage of 250,800 – though the giant Royal Caribbean ship has a maximum passenger capacity of 7,600, or 5,610 based on double occupancy.
Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has ordered four new ships that will be among the largest at sea.
Fincantieri has already built two ships for the NCL brand, Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva.
Norwegian Aqua, the first of NCL’s new Prima Plus class, is set to launch in April and three others are in various stages of design and construction.
