After the Gem-What's Next?

[claudie]

Does anyone know if NCL has any plans for more building once the Gem is completed?

I'm sure others have more information but here is what I found on the web...

 

 

 

contract with Aker Yards S.A. of France to build up to three new cruise ships, totaling 12,600 berths for delivery between 2009 and 2011.

Yes, NCL has ordered two ships with an option of a third ship from Akker Finyards, formerly Chantiers Atlantic shipyard in France. NCL calls them the F-3 class, they are not named yet, and these ships will be very large, around 150,000 tons. These ships will be a third larger than the 93,000 tons of the Star/Jewel classes. In other words they will be huge. Delivery is expected in late 2009, mid 2010, and if NCL takes up the option of the third ship, its delivery will be in early 2011.

Gotta play keepup with RCI:rolleyes: .

Thanks for the info. I can't imagine being on a larger ship than the Pearl or the Jewel. We just got off and loved it but I think that's as large as I want to go-capacity wise.

How about this

WHOA! That looks like a stadium! Capacity is probably greater than my town's population (15k).
