This reference book was designed to put an overview of dozens of cruise lines and their ships at your fingertips. Each cruise line's section includes an overview of the brand, important phone numbers and websites, "at a glance" details about their fleet, and a list of ships including capacity, crew, and the year it was launched. We've also included ships "on order" and a breakdown of the key selling points for each brand. As with our other books, we've also included "A-ha moments" where we share our favorite features and fun facts about a cruise line or ship. The book also includes several indicies allowing you to search for a line by destination or category. The 2026 guide includes over 45 cruise lines, and our plan is to release a new edition each year, updated to include new ships and lines.
