London-Calling Posted December 11, 2021 Author #4 Share Posted December 11, 2021 The internet give figures of 205,000 and 153,000. Do we have a definitive answer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidari Posted December 11, 2021 #5 Share Posted December 11, 2021 205,000 will be Gross tonnage, no idea where the lower one came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunagoras Posted December 11, 2021 #6 Share Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) Unless something has changed on the last 2 years... It is now too late to make such a decision like that for a ship that is way under construction!... Maybe: Someone has confused actual tonnage with gross tonnage, and even at that they did their accounting in a very sad matter, to say the least!... Today is not all fools day, or is it???!!!... Now: Another question is on whether the World 2, 3 and 4 will be made of the same prototype or replaced by what seems to be a Fantasia+ one at 153 gross tonnes? That only time will tell, and that might to be exactly true. I believe the world Europa to be a class of its own on the current post pandemic far low market situation. that way they'd to secure the very valuable shipyard slots, while bringing a commercially far more realistic class of ships, maybe with a 5th one on the making to compensate at the contract's maturity. Have a nice day!... Edited December 11, 2021 by Nunagoras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think MSC has flip-flopped on this a couple of times. Currently the website says 205k gross tonnes. However, it wasn't always that way.... https://web.archive.org/web/20210531133839/https://www.msccruisesusa.com/cruise/ships/msc-world-europa Scroll all the way to the bottom. MSC IT STRIKES AGAIN!

London-Calling Posted December 18, 2021 Author #8 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Thanks ocdb6r, so which figure is correct? Different MSC web sites have different figures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different MSC web sites have different figures! I believe the larger number is correct as they've corrected it in most places on their websites. That, combined with the fact the smaller number just happened to be identical to the Seashore, leads me to believe whomever in MSC IT added the "New Ship" left the old numbers from the last new ship (which happened to be Seashore).

Except MSC Seashore's size is 169,400 in gross tonnage on both the archived and current site. I do agree the smaller size is a mistake, but it's not from copy/pasting the Seashore's value. The SeaSIDE and SeaVIEW have that size so maybe copy/paste from one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London-Calling Posted February 6, 2022 Author #11 Share Posted February 6, 2022 (edited) This whole story appears to be "Fake News". Europa is around 205, 000 GT. Mind you Wikipedia and MSC's own web site had it wrong! Edited February 6, 2022 by London-Calling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
