While the building of new cruise ships temporarily slowed during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, there are quite a few incredible new ships set to debut during 2023.
Viking Ocean Cruises’ new ship, Viking Saturn, will launch
early this year with the sleek Scandinavian design the fleet is known for. All of Saturn’s cabins and suites will have their own balconies.
Oceania Cruises will introduce its first new-build ship in
more than ten years, Oceania Vista, in April. Highlights include a new
category of balcony cabins for solo travelers and a dozen dining spots,
including a new restaurant called Ember.
Resilient Lady, the third ship in the Virgin Voyages fleet,
will begin sailing in May. It’s expected to have the same relaxed-yet-trendy
vibe as its sister ships, with fun features like tattoo parlors and dodgeball
games.
MSC Cruises’ Euribia will be powered by liquified
natural gas for reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Scheduled to launch in June, it’s
expected to be one of the largest cruise ships on the seas.
Luxury line Silversea will unveil the Silver Nova
this summer. With room for 728 guests, it will be Silversea’s largest ship, and
the first designed to be completely emissions-free while in port.
The second ship in Norwegian Cruise Line’s Prima Class, Norwegian
Viva, will arrive in August with lots of open spaces to enjoy, as well as
infinity pools, several restaurants and a multi-story go-kart racetrack.
Seabourn Cruises will welcome a new expedition ship, Seabourn
Pursuit, in September. It will be well-equipped for adventure, with two custom-built
submarines, kayaks and Zodiac craft onboard.
Extreme luxury is standard on Regent Seven Seas’ ships,
including the new Grandeur, set to debut in November. It will have its
own version of the jaw-dropping Regent Suite, as well as four restaurants.
Celebrity Ascent, the final ship in Celebrity Cruises’
Edge Class, will launch in December. It will include the innovative “infinite
balcony” feature, as well as some cabins designed for solo travelers.
While its ships are not brand-new, Crystal Cruises is emerging
from bankruptcy with a new owner and plans to relaunch the Crystal Serenity
and Crystal Symphony during 2023.
Finally, we must mention Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the
Seas, scheduled to debut in early 2024 as the first ship in the line’s new
Icon Class.
