Bigger ships, greener energy and amazing amenities — here's what to look out for on the cruise ship scene in 2020 (via CNNtravel)
Costa Cruises's Costa Smeralda, for instance, has ushered in a movement toward big ships embracing greener energy via clean-burning liquefied natural gas -- a power source that at least two of the new-for-2020 vessels will likewise rely upon.
Making a play for first-time"sailors" and a younger, hipper, adults-only crowd, the fleets' design-heavy concept has been realized by a team of designers and architects with zero former ties to cruising. It's the crowning innovation aboard the 5,280-passenger behemoth, the largest in Carnival's 28-ship fleet, which debuts in the fall. Look out, too, for the line's biggest water park ; a 600-foot-long ropes course; a new-for-the-line, suites-only enclave and a brewery.
A kids' club with programming designed by Jean-Michel Cousteau's Ocean Futures Society is also of note. For starters, they can nosh in 29 culinary venues, rest their heads in staterooms trimmed by push-of-a-button"infinite" balconies, first-for-the-line solo cabins or lavish bi-level villas with their own outdoor plunge pools.
The 200-passenger expedition yacht will deliver guests to the most remote places on the planet without them ever leaving the lap of luxury, thanks to features like a one-to-one staff-to-guest ratio, roomy, balcony-trimmed suites outfitted with king-sized beds, in-room iPads, and personal butlers.
