Bigger Ships, Private Islands, Greener Cruising?

This episode explores two major developments shaping cruising's future: Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings locks in three new ships with Fincantieri through 2037, including a 227,000-ton megaship for NCL, an Oceania sister to the Sonata, and a Regent ultra-luxury vessel, all with methanol-ready designs. Meanwhile, AIDA becomes the third Carnival Corporation brand to schedule a call at Celebration Key, the private Bahamian destination, sending AIDAluna on a 14-night repositioning voyage from New York in November 2027.
