Brand New Cruise Ship: Nowhere To Go [What happens when ship's can't be delivered]

The world of cruise ship construction changed forever between 2020 and 2022. From the first roller coaster at sea on Carnival Mardi Gras to the return of the ocean liner aesthetic with the Disney Wish, this era defined the modern cruise experience. In this video, we look at the evolution of these "new builds" and the engineering stories behind their launch. In this video: The launch of Virgin Voyages' Scarlet Lady. How the Cunard Queen Anne (then unnamed) was first conceptualized. The "Virtual Delivery" of Celebrity Apex. How the global pause influenced modern ship design. — 📚 Buy my books: https://www.frameandcross.com/books/ 👕 Buy cruise merch: https://chrisframeofficial.teemill.com/ 🛳️ My Maritime History Substack: https://themaritimehistorian.substack.com/ — 🛳️ BOOK A CRUISE (AUS/NZ): https://www.travelmasters.com.au/chris-frame From a childhood voyage on Cunard’s QE2 to becoming a leading voice in maritime history, Chris spends many days each year at sea, with a front-row seat to how the cruise industry operates.
