The average size of the new ships is now 113,600 tons, while the average capacity lies in the 2,500-guest range.
Among the latest news, Scenic ordered a 270-guest newbuild for a 2028 delivery this past October.
Updates to the November report from Cruise Industry News include Celebrity Cruises’ welcome of the Celebrity Xcel, which will sail her inaugural season from Fort Lauderdale.
Disney has also taken delivery of the Destiny, which was built at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany. The vessel was welcomed during a special ceremony in Eemshaven, Netherlands.
The ship is the third in a series that began with the 2022-built Disney Wish. The new vessel was built at Meyer’s Papenburg shipyard and completed its conveyance through the River Ems in late September, which was followed by sea trials.
