Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas and Star of the Seas are the biggest cruise ships in the world, each at over 250,000 gross tons and more than 7,000 passengers at full capacity. But the future of cruising just took a turn: in 2029, Carnival's Project Ace (the new Carnival Destiny) will pack nearly 8,000 guests into a smaller ship than Icon, while Disney Cruise Line's newly announced ships and Royal Caribbean's own Discovery Class are going SMALLER to reach more cruise ports around the world. In this video, I break down how cruise ships got this big. From the original Carnival Destiny in 1996 to Oasis of the Seas to Icon Class. What it's really like on board the largest cruise ship in the world, why so many cruise ports can't handle mega ships, and what the cruise lines' own 2029 shipyard orders reveal about where the cruise industry is headed next. 🔔 Subscribe for honest cruise reviews, rankings, and money-saving cruise tips from someone who pays his own way on every sailing. 📲 Follow me: Website: https://zachthetravelingman.com Instagram: @zachthetravelingman Facebook: Zach the Traveling Man #cruise #cruisetips #cruisevlog #royalcaribbean #carnivalcruise #hollandamerica #norwegiancruiseline #cruisetravel #cruisevacation
