The cruise industry is growing year over year, and cruise lines are paying keen attention to the needs and wants of their guests. With over 30 million people expected to take a cruise in 2020, there’s a need for even more cruise ships to set sail with a wide variety of activities and amenities.
Many of the leading cruise lines have new ships on order and arriving in 2020. Each brings something special for guests to experience, whether it’s the first roller coaster at sea or an expedition ship where every stateroom is a suite.
Celebrity Apex, Celebrity Cruises
Setting sail in March, the Celebrity Apex is the second ship in the cruise line’s new Edge class ships. Like the first ship in this class, the Apex will also feature Infinite Verandah staterooms and the Magic Carpet®. This movable platform adds additional bar and dining space and serves as the boarding and departure platform.
Scarlet Lady, Virgin Voyages
The countdown is on for Virgin Voyages to officially start sailing its first cruise ship, Scarlet Lady. The travel world is anxiously awaiting this adults-only cruise line designed for those who want a rockin’ way to cruise. The Scarlet Lady will feature the first tattoo parlor at sea and 20 dining venues, but no main dining room.

Ready for an enchanting cruise? The Enchanted Princess will set sail in June of this year. Complete with the latest MedallionClass features, including The Fastest Internet at Sea and wearable medallions to access your staterooms and stay connected on board.
