and, especially, with their design and construction. In the first chapter, we will discuss about cruise ships in general, their history and origins, operators, organization (dining, crew, business model, ship naming etc.), regional industries. The next chapter is dedicated to cruise ship designing. We will get informed about the interior design of the ships, the New Russia cruise ships designs and the revolutionary new expedition cruise ships designs. In the end, we will focus on the cruise ships construction. We will discuss about the cruise ships engine, the engine room, conventional diesel cruise ships engine, diesel electric engine, emergency generators, categories of propulsions and cruise ship power. [5] CHAPTER 1: Introduction A cruise ship is a passenger ship used for recreational and leisure voyages, in which the journey itself and the onboard amenities, attractions, activities and entertainment options are integrant part of the cruise experience. The rapid growth and specialization process experienced by the cruise industry in the last decades has also affected the design and general aesthetics, materials, size and overall onboard functionalities, equipment and amenities of modern cruise ships and recreational vessels to satisfy a clientele more and more numerous and sensitive to quality, who demands the most diversified services with assurance of satisfaction and excellence, while providing solutions to the growing concerns about the cruise industry’s environmental impact on marine and coastal communities and ecosystems. Nowadays, every continent and region on Earth can be visited onboard a cruise or recreational ship, including the most exotic, faraway places and secluded destinations. In the same way, and along the last years, a good number of vessels managed by companies and organizations unrelated to the cruise industry have been redesigned or adapted to offer cruise services to passengers looking for unconventional experiences. [6] CHAPTER 2: CRUISE SHIPS 2.1 Definition A cruise ship or cruise liner is a passenger ship used for pleasure voyages, where the voyage itself and the ship's amenities are a part of the experience, as well as the different destinations along the way, i.e., ports of call. Transportation is not the only purpose of cruising, particularly on cruises that return passengers to their originating port (also known as a closed-loop cruise), with the ports of call usually in a specified region of a continent. There are even "cruises to nowhere" or "nowhere voyages" where the ship makes 2–3 night round trips without any ports of call. By contrast, dedicated transport oriented ocean liners do "line voyages" and typically transport passengers from one point to another, rather than on round trips. Traditionally, a liner for the transoceanic trade will be built to a higher standard than a typical cruise ship, including higher freeboard and stronger plating to withstand rough seas and adverse conditions encountered in the open ocean, such as the North Atlantic. Ocean liners also usually have larger
