Cruise ships are large passenger ships used mainly for vacationing. Unlike ocean liners, passenger ships primarily used for transportation across seas or oceans, they typically embark on round-trip voyages to various attractive ports of call. Their passengers may go on organized tours known as "shore excursions".{{cite book |last1=Saunders |first1=Aaron |title=Giants of the seas : the ships that transformed modern cruising |date=2013 |publisher=Seaforth Publishing |isbn=978-1-84832-172-4 |pages=90–94}} The largest may carry thousands of passengers in a single trip, and are some of the largest ships in the world by gross tonnage{{nbsp}}(GT), bigger than many large cargo ships.

Cruise ships are operated by cruise lines, which offer cruises to the public. In the 1990s, many cruise lines were bought by much larger holding companies and continue to operate as brands or subsidiaries of the holding company. For instance, Carnival Corporation & plc owns both the mass-market Carnival Cruise Line, focused on larger party ships for younger travelers, and Holland America Line, whose smaller ships cultivate an image of classic elegance.{{cite web |title=Our Brands |url=https://www.carnivalcorp.com/corporate-information/our-brands |website=Carnival Corporation & plc |access-date=26 March 2020 |language=en |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200330075241/https://www.carnivalcorp.com/corporate-information/our-brands |archive-date=30 March 2020 |url-status=live }}

Timeline

The first large cruise ships were the {{sclass|destiny|cruise ship|0}} from Carnival Cruise Line. The lead ship Carnival Destiny the first to exceed 100,000 gross tons and the first to eclipse RMS Queen Elizabeth in terms of tonnage. {{cite web |date=12 January 2025 |title=Worlds Biggest Cruise Ships Timeline; by Chris Frame Maritime Historian |url= https://chrisframe.com.au/post/773641653009448960/worlds-biggest-cruise-ships-list-of-record |website= Chris Frame Official Website (Maritime Historian & Public Figure) |language=en}}

Grand Princess eclipsed Carnival Destiny in 1998.

The {{sclass|Voyager|cruise ship|0}} from Royal Caribbean Group's Royal Caribbean International (RCI) debuted in 1998 and at over 137,000{{nbsp}}GT, were almost 30,000{{nbsp}}GT larger than the next-largest cruise ships, and were some of the first designed to offer amenities such as an ice rink and climbing wall.

In 2004, the five Voyager-class ships were overtaken by the 148,528{{nbsp}}GT {{ship||Queen Mary 2}} (QM2), the only ocean liner currently in service.

QM2 was surpassed by RCI's 155,889 GT {{sclass|Freedom|cruise ship|5}}-class vessels in 2006, which were in turn overtaken by RCI's first of six planned {{sclass|Oasis|cruise ship|0}} vessels in 2009. The Oasis-class ships, at over 225,000{{nbsp}}GT, at least {{convert|154|ft}} wide, {{convert|240|ft}} high, and 1,180 feet (360m) long, can accommodate over 5,400 passengers.{{cite web |date=12 December 2007 |title=Work starts on world's largest cruise ship |url=http://www.travelmole.com/stories/1124808.php |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110930172109/http://www.travelmole.com/stories/1124808.php |archive-date=30 September 2011 |access-date=25 March 2020 |website=Travel Mole |language=en}} Oasis-class ships were surpassed by the first {{sclass|Icon|cruise ship|0}} ship, {{ship||Icon of the Seas}}, at 248,663{{nbsp}}GT in 2023.

On order

{{As of|May 2025}}, 29 passenger ships are currently on order or under construction with a publicly announced size of over 140,000{{nbsp}}GT. RCI has three {{sclass|Icon|cruise ship|1}}s on order and two options, with expected delivery in 2025, 2026 and 2027.{{cite web|date=2024-01-09|title=RCCL Investors - Key Statistics - Fleet Expansion Projects |url=https://www.rclinvestor.com/financial-info/key-statistics/}} RCI also has one Oasis-class ship on order for 2028. While its exact size is not published, RCI has previously stated that each new Oasis-class ship will be a little larger than the last. Celebrity Cruises, which is owned by RCI's parent company Royal Caribbean Group, will introduce a 140,600 GT {{sclass|Edge|cruise ship|0}} ships in 2025, and TUI Cruises, a joint venture between Royal Caribbean Group and TUI Group, are introducing a new class of 161,000 GT cruise ships in 2024 and 2026.

Asia-based Dream Cruises, which went bankrupt due to the COVID-19 pandemic, had been planning to take delivery of two 208,000 GT {{sclass|Global|cruise ship|0}} ships in 2021 and 2022, which would have been the first ships over 200,000{{nbsp}}GT not built for RCI, with the largest maximum passenger capacity, 9,500, of any ship. One unfinished ship, formerly the Global Dream, was sold to Disney Cruise Line and is expected to debut in 2025 as the Disney Adventure, while the other was sent for scrapping.

MSC Cruises has four {{sclass2|World|cruise ship|0}} ships planned for 2026, 2027, 2029 and 2030, and at 215,800{{nbsp}}GT and a capacity of 6,762 passengers.{{cite news |last1=Archer |first1=Jane |title=Plans unveiled for one of the world's biggest cruise ships, with room for 6,850 passengers |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/cruises/articles/msc-world-class-cruise-ships-biggest/ |website=The Telegraph |date=8 June 2017 |access-date=25 June 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190129215209/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/cruises/articles/msc-world-class-cruise-ships-biggest/ |archive-date=29 January 2019 |url-status=live }}

Carnival Corporation has two more 183,200–183,900 GT {{sclass2|Excellence|cruise ships|2}} planned to debut in 2027 and 2028.[https://www.carnivalcorp.com/news-releases/news-release-details/carnival-corporation-orders-additional-excel-class-ship-carnival Carnival Corporation Orders an Additional Excel-Class Ship for Carnival Cruise Line, the Line's 5th Excel-Class Ship and the 11th Across the Global Fleet], Retrieved 1 April 2024

Each year from 2023 to 2027, the Norwegian Cruise Line will debut additional ships from the {{sclass|Prima|cruise ship|4}}. The Prima-class ships are expected to be 142,500{{nbsp}}GT and carry 3,215 to 3,550 passengers. Additionally, Norwegian Cruise Line is expected to take delivery of four approximately 200,000-gross-ton ships, each with a capacity of nearly 5,000 guests, in 2030, 2032, 2034 and 2036, which are subject to financing.{{cite web |date=2024-04-08 |title=Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Unveils Bold New Vision for the Future with Strategic Long Term Fleet Expansion and Enhanced Private Island Development |url=https://www.nclhltd.com/news-media/press-releases/detail/590/norwegian-cruise-line-holdings-unveils-bold-new-vision-for |access-date=2024-10-28 |website=nclhltd.com}}

Disney Cruise Line will launch two more 144,000 GT {{sclass2|Triton|cruise ship|0}} ships in 2024, and 2025. These ships will have 1,250 staterooms, like the line's previous two ships, but will be 14,000{{nbsp}}GT larger than those ships and powered by liquified natural gas fuel.
