That looks like a kind of voyager? It supposed to be something ‘ mesmerising’ .

A lot of the rumours are coming from that Nathan Graveson , he seems to be fairly well connected.

Rating can be based on volume (GRT) or on passenger numbers. 

For passengers:

Small - under 800 passengers

Small-mid  - 800 - 1499

Mid - 1500 - 2499

Large - 2500 - 3499

Mega - 3500+ 

 

This appears to be a moving target though. As ships get bigger, this definition seems to shift with it.

Thank you.  Yes I've noticed that.  I usually cruise on small ships, but I'm about to cruise on a large ship next year.

The rumours coming from the shipyard they will be signing a contract for Discovery next month.

 

 

Heres a video to get you expectations up on what kind of fuel it could have and what market it will be built for.
