How They Build the World’s Largest Cruise Ships
The complete story behind Royal Caribbean International’s Voyager Class ships, from concept to reality. Three video box set includes: Volume 1 “Concept and Design”, Volume 2 “Building and Testing”, and Volume 3 “A City at Sea”. Description from the box: More than 3 football fields long and 214 heet high, the Voyager Class ships are engineering marvels. Unlike any cruise ship ever built, it’s the story of men and women who had a dream to create a cruise experience so unique and innovative that it re-defines the cruise ship experience. The Voyager Class is unconventional- floating islands with many “firsts” at sea: an ice skating ring, a rock climbing wall, and many others. This story spans more than 3 years from concept to completion. Go behind the scenes to the shipyard to see how the ships are designed. Watch as gigantic blocks, weighing as much as 600 tons, are pieced together like a colossal jigsaw puzzle. Witness firsthand the tests, the problems, an onboard fire and the triumphs of engineering leading to the Atlantic crossing. Join the directors as they cast and rehearse the production shows, showing the tricks behind the special effects. We’ll take you on sea trials when the ship’s untested systems are pushed to their limits. Finally, witness the maiden voyage and see how all the planning and dreams come to life for the first time.
