Overview
- Meyer Werft, which unveiled Project Vision on Wednesday at Seatrade Cruise Global in Miami, presented a 275‑meter, 82,000‑GT design for about 1,856 guests.
- The ship would use marine battery packs from Norway’s Corvus Energy, with the yard claiming up to 95% lower greenhouse‑gas emissions than today’s cruise ships.
- Modeling targets short to mid‑range European routes with recharging in port, including corridors like Barcelona to Civitavecchia as more than 100 ports add high‑capacity shore power by 2030.
- All‑electric architecture removes the exhaust funnel and vertical shaft, opening more sun‑deck space and reducing engine noise and vibration for passengers.
- No orders were announced, and Meyer Werft says a first ship could arrive in 2031 if a buyer commits, with a hybrid option using small generators proposed for longer crossings.
