Arvia

The re-opening of the international cruise industry sees a big year for the industry as a total of 20 new cruise vessels were delivered in 2022.

The biggest among them are the MSC World Europa, Arvia and Carnival Celebration.

From large contemporary vessels to smaller expedition and luxury ships, the year’s lineup included all kinds of ships and products.

A total of 16 cruise lines debuted new ships during the year, including Carnival, P&O, Viking and MSC – who received two new large vessels, the MSC World Europa and the MSC Seascape.
