They range in age, size, quality, style and structure. Remember, cruise ships can range in size from under 200 feet to over 1,000 feet. You can sail with fewer than 100 other passengers, or with more than 2,800. Ship atmospheres range from casual to formal, simple to ultra-deluxe.
Ships can be one of twenty in a cruise line fleet, or the lone ship of a small cruise company.
Choosing a cruise line is difficult enough. But once you've made that decision, don't assume that all the ships of a fleet are similar. Investigate further to choose the best ship in the fleet for your vacation. It will make all the difference in your vacation experience. The age of your ship is important not only because it'll determine the extent of available on-board modern conveniences, but because it can determine the reliability of the vessel.
