I am working in one of the largest cruise vessels around the world with a capacity of 4,300(Guest) 1,600(Crew) onboard. The ton is around 175,500 Gt (gross tons).
A cruise vessel is considering a floating hotel that carry people for traveling around the world and may dock to different country, this is consider the best way to see the world while in vacation or holiday.
