About

Cruise Ships List is an independent, evergreen directory of the world’s cruise ships and ocean liners — one page per hull. Cruise ships are renamed constantly, so each page follows the hull through every name and operator she has sailed under, keyed by IMO number where one exists. We record the permanent things — tonnage, builder, launch, career and fate — rather than itineraries and prices, which change too fast to be a record. Phase 1 covers every cruise ship in service today plus the preserved ships you can still visit; retired ships and the classic ocean liners follow.

Start with the master list: All 435 Cruise Ships.
