Five Epic New Cruise Ships Arriving This Spring

2016 promises to be an exciting year for the cruise industry with several new builds coming out, including the largest cruise ship ever built.  Here is a rundown of five epic new ocean cruise ships arriving this spring in the order that they will make their debut.

Viking Sea (April 3) – Viking Cruises entered the ocean cruise market in 2015 with Viking Star.  Their 2nd ship, Viking Sea, will debut on April 3, 2016 and have all the great features of their first ocean cruise ship. Viking Sea will have an aft infinity pool, thermal suite with snow room (complimentary), two story explorer’s lounge, and every stateroom comes with a private veranda.  One shore excursion in each port, Wi-Fi, specialty restaurants, thermal suite, laundry room, and 24/7 room service will all be complimentary.

ms Koningsdam (April 8) – Soon to be the largest ship in Holland America Line’s fleet at just under 100,000 GT, ms Koningsdam will feature a 270 degree LED screen in the theater.  The World Stage will allow the room to be transformed into anything the designers imagine. There will be several venues that have a musical theme including Billboard Onboard, Lincoln Center Stage, and B.B. King’s Blues Club.

Koningsdam will debut on April 8, 2016 and sail a season in Europe before heading to Port Everglades.  Once in Ft. Lauderdale, the ship will sail 7-11 night cruises to the Caribbean.
