New Cruise Ships

Another one on "Luminara".

"Sun Princess" departure from Gibraltar.

Here is a look at TUI Cruises latest ship the "Mein Schiff RELAX". She debuted to the world in March 2025. Her sistership, to be called "Mein Schiff FLOW", is currently under construction so service entry in mid-2026. These new class of ships are called the inTUItion Class.

Disney also has another ship that is about to debut this year in "Disney Destiny". She should be soon heading on her sea trials. Enjoy how her horn sounds.

Another new one that is currently under construction but coming is the "Orient Express Corinthian" (OE Corinthian). This will be a unique one for sure taking experiences usually synonymous with rail travel to the open sea. This will be the first ship coming in 2026.

Four Seasons will be coming with their first vessel the "Four Seasons 1" in very early 2026 too.

"MSC WORLD AMERICA", the newest in the WORLD Class from MSC Cruises, this is the second in that class with the first being "MSC WORLD EUROPA". The Third I believe is going to be "MSC WORLD ASIA".

Oceania's newest ship to date, the "Allura" delivered this year. She is the 2nd hull to "Vista" which was delivered in 2023.

"Star Princess", the second in the Princess Cruises Sphere class...has just been delivered.

"Star of the Seas" departure from Cozumel recently. Star is the second hull in the ICON Class from Royal Caribbean. The first was "Icon of the Seas" and the third is under construction and will be called "Legend of the Seas".

Another look at "Disney Destiny".

Brand new "Star Princess" on departure from Gibraltar for the first time. She is the second in Princess Cruises new Sphere Class.

"Legend of the Seas" at the yard. She is the 3rd ICON class cruise ship for Royal Caribbean.

"MSC WOLRD ASIA" seen at the shipyard. She is the 3rd in MSC's WORLD CLASS.

Looking forward to 2026, I believe Carnival has their 4th hull in the Excel class, "Norwegian LUNA" in March 2026 should be the next in their Prima-plus class following up from the "Norwegian AQUA" launched this year. Costa supposed to have a Excellence class ship for 2026 too. The first "Four Seasons 1" is the first in Four Seasons ships for very early 2026. Disney ADVENTURE will be coming in March 2026 having been delayed from the end of 2025. Emerald Cruises in April 2026 with "Emerald KAIA", this is a sistership to the "Emerald AZZURRA" and "Emerald SAKARA". Viking Ocean Cruises will have the "Viking Mira" in June 2026. Orient Express will have the "Orient Express Corinthian" in June 2026. "Legend of the Seas" -the third ICON Class from Royal Caribbean- is coming in July 2026. "Explora III" will be in Summer 2026 and she will be the first of the Explora ships to be LNG powered. "Seven Seas Prestige" is coming for Regent in December. "MSC WORLD ASIA" from MSC at the end of the year too.

"Disney Destiny". I believe this is the first time she is sailing with the Disney house colours. Maiden voyage is November 20th.

A look around "Star Princess"...the second Princess Sphere class ship delivered this year.
