Cruise Ships Launches For 2010
In 2010, cruise lovers were treated to a dozen new ocean-going ships and three river ships, but all but three will be almost identical sister ships of those already in service. This is not bad bad news, since travelers saw three dozen exciting new vessels across all markets added to the cruise lines’ inventories in 2009.

In 2009, the cruise lines launched at least 20 new ships: 10 ocean going cruise ships and 10 riverboats. The ten new cruise ships range in size from the significantly refurbished Clelia II with 100 passengers to the brand new Oasis of the Seas, the largest ship ever built, with 5400 passengers.
Some of the ships are budget priced for the mass market, others are ultra-luxury for the well-to-do. The new ships were rolled out starting in early April and continued to late December. Add in the riverboats, and there is bound to be a ship and itinerary to suit every desire and pocketbook.
