Disney Cruise Line has revealed a thrilling insight into new cruise ship Disney Destiny, due to set sail next year, as a major event was celebrated. Brits will be among the first to get on board this new cruise ship as it will leave Southampton on a maiden voyage crossing the Atlantic to sunnier climes. Sip tempting hand-crafted cocktails in the multi-venue restaurant, bar and entertainment area Eden or hang out on the Magic Carpet (pictured).
The Best New Cruise Ships of 2023
Taking expedition sailing to thrilling new depths, Seabourn’s expedition ship will have two submersibles. Each will carry six passengers and the pilot on underwater expeditions to depths of 984 feet. The next best thing to having your own yacht is setting sail on Emerald Cruises’ second superyacht Emerald Sakara. OK, you will have to share it with other passengers, but that’s hardly a hardship on this sleek vessel which has an infinity pool and marina platform with fun toys including a water trampoline. There is a variety of dining options including the Compass Rose Main Dining Room, Prime 7 reservation-only American Steakhouse, and new speciality restaurant, Chartreuse serving French cuisine and premium cocktails.
Virgin VoyagesBrilliant Lady
The ship also includes more than 40 new and returning dining, bar, and nightlife options, and cutting-edge entertainment. Among the favorites are the cruise line’s thrilling dive shows and ice skating shows, each enhanced with immersive features and stunning special effects. The ship will offer 75 GRT per passenger, making it one of the most spacious cruise ships in the world in terms of space afforded to each passenger. From MSC Cruises, Explora I is a new offering that’s designed to be a luxury experience like you’ve never seen before from MSC Cruises. The first of this new class of ships, Explora I is the first of three sister ships that are expected to appear over the next four years, through 2026.
As Wave Season Concludes, Cruise Lines Continue to Celebrate Booking Wins
Like its five coming sisters, Explora 1 will offer oceanfront suites, penthouses and residences designed to be "homes at sea," and it'll be packed with upscale amenities. They will include 10 distinct culinary experiences, 10 indoor and outdoor bars and lounges, four swimming pools, outdoor deck areas with private cabanas, wellness facilities and entertainment. The recently renewed Swan Hellenic brand will add to its current fleet of two new ships with yet another.
“Silver Nova” from Silversea
Celebrity Cruises will continue the rollout of its new Edge class of ships in 2023 with the unveiling of Celebrity Ascent — the fourth of five vessels in the series. With every berth filled, Silver Nova will sail with 728 passengers — just 132 more than the earlier vessels. Silver Nova's asymmetrical design will also be evident at two new food and beverage venues at the top of the vessel. Explora 1 will initially sail in Northern Europe before repositioning to North America for the winter.
Norwegian Cruise LineNorwegian Viva
Guests will be able to sit back, relax and enjoy a drink in one of her four bars, lounges and pub. Entertainment includes a tiered main theatre, casino, card room, library, and craft studio. Scenic Eclipse II will offer ultra-luxury all-inclusive expedition cruising, in spacious suites with butler service, access to Senses Spa and a choice of ten dining experiences. She will be the seventh ship to join the Oceania fleet, which is renown for its culinary excellence boasting The Finest Cuisine at Sea®. Seabourn Pursuit, a PC6 Polar Class vessel, has been designed and built to sail in diverse environments, and will include modern technology that will extend the ships’ global deployment and capabilities. The ship will carry two custom-built submarines, 24 Zodiacs, kayaks, and a 26-person expert expedition team whose role is to engage guests throughout each voyage.
Best Suite Complex
Fares start at $4,700 per person, including a flight credit, airport transfers and shore excursions, for a seven-night Caribbean sailing out of Miami. A creation of the deep-pocketed MSC Group, which already owns MSC Cruises, Explora Journeys plans to launch at least six superluxurious vessels by 2028, each of which is designed to hold at least 922 passengers. As for decor and amenities, Oceania has promised an "evolution" of the intimate, residential-style interior venues for which its ships are known. At 67,000 tons, Vista will be a tad bigger than Oceania's last two new ships, Marina and Riviera. However, it'll carry fewer passengers (1,200 versus 1,250), meaning its "space ratio" of space per passenger will be higher.
Virgin VoyagesResilient Lady
Celebrity Ascent initially will sail to the Caribbean out of Fort Lauderdale's Port Everglades. Seven Seas Grandeur will also offer an array of elegant and high-end restaurants, all of which are included in the fare. The biggest accommodation on board, the Regent Suite, will measure an astounding 4,443 square feet — nearly twice the square footage of the average American home. But, also like Norwegian Prima, Norwegian Viva will still pack a lot of over-the-top amenities, including a go-kart track that occupies three decks.

Ambition will carry up to 1,200 passengers in her 714 cabins, 125 of which have balconies and 113 are suites with up to 62m2 of living space. Thanks to plenty of ship orders made in advance of the pandemic, there are more than a dozen ocean newbuilds on the horizon. Designed with the yachting lifestyle in mind, Explora I offers just over 450 balcony suites, with each boasting 377 square feet of space.
Expect the line's highly regarded S.A.L.T. culinary program to play a starring role among a roster that has a high bar of eight restaurants. The 6,334-passenger ship will be powered by liquid natural gas and be the third in the line's Meraviglia-Plus Class. While details on the ship are still light, expect it to resemble sibling ships MSC Grandiosa and MSC Virtuosa.
Seabourn Pursuit, a PC6 Polar Class vessel, has been designed and built to sail in diverse environments, and includes modern technology that will extend the ships’ global deployment and capabilities. The ship carries two custom-built submarines, 24 Zodiacs, kayaks, and a 26-person expert expedition team whose role is to engage guests throughout each voyage. Most of the main cruise lines introduced new vessels in 2023, and it is also the year when a new luxury cruise brand launched - Explora Journeys with its first new ship EXPLORA I. In Currents, guests can experience life beneath the waves, both real and imagined, in a space that features six huge LED windows as portals to the sea, plus a wave-shaped LED ceiling.
Like Viking, Emerald Cruises is another line to recently expand from river cruising into ocean voyaging, and it is ready to launch its second yacht — Emerald Sakara — in August. The intimate 100-guest vessel will start off on its “Ionian Sea Adventure” from Athens to Rome. Carnival's last new vessel before the arrival of Mardi Gras in 2021, Carnival Panorama, didn't even crack the top 40 list of biggest ships when it debuted in 2019. Carnival Cruise Line will continue its move toward bigger ships in 2023 with the unveiling of Carnival Jubilee — the third vessel in its new Excel-class series.
Among lines unveiling new ships that are sisters to vessels already in their fleets are Norwegian Cruise Line, Carnival Cruise Line, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Virgin Voyages and Celebrity Cruises. Icon of the Seas was originally expected to debut at the end of 2023, but now the ship will begin sailing from Miami, Florida, on seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries in January 2024. This ship will no doubt already be sailing before that, including a transatlantic journey. For the first time ever for Oceania, the ship will offer a new category of concierge-level staterooms that are designed with solo travelers in mind. Dramatic new “Signature Spaces” offer carefully designed rooms with the idea that there’s a space on the ship for every mood and every purpose. One feature of Seabourn Pursuit that you'll only find on its sister expedition ship, Seabourn Venture, which debuts in 2022, are the two-story suites that have double height windows and telescopes for wildlife spotting.
MSC World Europa is initially sailing in the Persian Gulf out of Dubai but will reposition to the Mediterranean for the summer of 2023. Fares for seven-night sailings start at $559 per person, not including taxes and fees. The line has a second new ship, the 4,810-passenger MSC Euribia, too, which will debut later in 2023 — in June, if all goes according to plan. At around 182,000 tons, it won't be quite as big as MSC World Europa but will still be one of the biggest cruise vessels in the world.
Viking Saturn is practically identical to her sister ships, exuding the same sophisticated charm, with high-end Scandi design. The ship has 465 all-balcony cabins and three suite options - Penthouse Junior Suites, Explorer Suites and the Owner’s Suite. The second ship to join Ambassador Cruise Line was Ambition, a smaller ship offering a premium value traditional.cruising experience.. Ambition can carry up to 1,200 passengers in 714 cabins, 125 of which have balconies and 113 suites with up to 62m2 of living space.
Just like all four of the Virgin Voyages ships, Resilient Lady will offer the adults-only environment infused with fitness, music and party-esque amenities that the cruise line is known for. Adora Cruises is an off-shoot cruise line founded in conjunction between the Carnival Corporation, the China Investment Corporation and the China State Shipbuilding Corporation. The company has so far taken on two Costa ships, but the first brand-new ship launched in 2023. Celebrity Cruises’ fleet was already a pinnacle of premium cruising before the launch of the magnificent Edge class in 2018, and now the fourth Edge ship launched in 2023 as the Celebrity Ascent. The ship has a three-storey kart race track, as well as an epic waterslide called The Drop that is not for the faint of heart. She al.so has NCL’s usual array of excellent dining venues and comfortable, contemporary stateroom choices.
