LARGE SHIPS



With capacities of 1,000 to 2,000 passengers, large ships are almost floating villages. Certainly they offer enough amenities to equip many a small town: boutiques, banks, theaters, television systems, hospitals, even heliports. This category includes classic ocean liners refurbished for new lives as cruise ships and modern, glitzy floating resorts.

Examples

Cunard || Princess Cruises || Premier Cruise Lines
