Passenger Capacity of Cruise Ships

best cruise ship articles

The average and max passenger capacity of cruise ships by size of 20,000+ GT. The list of all the big bigger biggest cruise ships in the world (still operational) by the names of their owners - the world's best travel cruise lines and companies (sorted alphabetically). The year-built (year-established for the companies), and the cruise ship passenger capacity, plus the officers-crew capacity (official cruise ship data, last updated January 2012). 

Some vessels are intentionally omitted, and included in a second article about the passenger capacity of the top luxury cruise ships, the reason being the emphasis on the industry's most famous and highest guests-to-crew ratio of the top luxury and best passenger ships in the world. "Cruise hints and tips" - If searching for a particular vessel, use Ctrl+F keys, and type her name.
