Royal Caribbean's largest ships have neighborhoods, parks, shopping districts, and thousands of residents. But as these floating cities grow, they're beginning to reshape the real cities and islands they visit.
In this video, we explore how cruise ship design evolved from Project Genesis and Oasis of the Seas to Icon of the Seas, one of the world's largest cruise ships. We examine the surprising urban planning behind these enormous vessels, why destinations like Venice, Barcelona, and Amsterdam are restricting cruise tourism, and how cruise companies are responding by developing private islands like Royal Caribbean's Perfect Day at CocoCay.
By comparing the architecture and urban design of a cruise ship with the master plan of a private island, we uncover a peculiar form of urban sprawl. We also look beneath the passenger decks to investigate the hidden infrastructure and crew neighborhoods that make these floating cities possible.
Cruise ships might have clearly defined physical boundaries, but their influence on cities, tourism, labor, and the built environment extends much further than you might expect.
