British yacht designer Andy Waugh has released his latest superyacht concept: ACIONNA , designed to push the boundaries of superyacht design both in engineering and styling for mega yachts.

Acionna – luxury yacht concept

The silvery exterior integrates the extensive glazing into the matte hull and superstructure to create a flowing, unbroken form. The foredeck is free from balustrades for uninterrupted views and a cleaner, sharper appearance where there is a helipad and an abundance of space for sunbathing. A ‘stepped’ appearance is created by the six visible decks to the aft, each providing alfresco seating as well as sun loungers, sunpads and dining areas spread across the various decks. However the main deck aft pool that flows down the swim platform is one of the hallmark features of concept ACIONNA and is sure to be a favourite feature with guests.

There are eight decks in total and from the interiors, the floor-to-ceiling windows flood the interior with natural light and connect guests and visitors to the breath-taking views. The massive interior volume can be personalised to any future owner to include facilities such as a 20m/66ft indoor pool, a squash court and a helicopter hangar. The main saloon covers two decks and curved glass creates uninterrupted views of the swimming pool on the main deck aft.

Compared to conventional designs, her propulsion system will take up a greater amount of space on board and will use hydrogen, which provides a greater cruising range than electrical batteries and is currently being trialled in cruise ships and ferries. By using renewable energy sources to generate the hydrogen, M/Y ACIONNA would have zero impact on the environment which opens up the possibility of cruising in environmentally sensitive regions.

Acionna Yacht – Named after a Gaelic water goddess

At 175m in length Acionna Yacht is the ultimate world cruising megayacht and challenges many of the preconceptions about larger yachts which are often said to be homogenous and conventional. At first glance it is obvious that Acionna is absolutely unique, her avant-garde styling a feast-for-the-eyes from every angle is exaggerated by her elegant proportions and sheer scale.

Acionna Yacht

Named after a Gaelic water goddess, yacht designer Andy Waugh’s new concept, Acionna, would be powered by hydrogen if built. The designer tells Superyachts.com that he was inspired by Norwegian ferries and cruise liners, reading as much as he could about the new propulsion method before designing Acionna.

Acionna Yacht Interior

The interior space available within the design is colossal and could include almost any feature desired including potentially a full size squash court, helicopter hanger and a 20m indoor pool.(Yes, you read correctly a full 20m indoor pool, for your convenience if your already doing the math or conversion – thats 65 feet long, inside of a boat!) Included in her 8 decks is a spectacular, double-height main saloon with panoramic curved glass overlooking the main aft deck pool.

acionna mega yacht

This area of the design leading down to the swimming platform is highly unusual as it comprises of a central ‘island’ of communal areas completely surrounded by the pool and accessed via a tunnel aft and a bridge forward. The pool flows constantly down the sloped transom and into a lower pool of the swim platform, whether this is used as a method of egress is left up to the individual….

acionna mega yacht

Our favorite aspect of the ACIONNA is the design both on the outside, however more so on the inside. To clarify we are not only referring to its beautiful interior finishings, and amenities such as pools, spas, entertainment, etc, but the functions of the yacht, the engine build out and focus on the future in bettering our world and changing the way yachts are built.

acionna mega yacht

Slightly more space will be used for the propulsion system in comparison to conventional designs as she is planned to be powered with hydrogen using a similar system currently being trialled in cruise ships and ferries. If the power used to manufacture the hydrogen is purchased from renewable energy sources the yacht could be said to be ‘zero impact’.

Hydrogen propulsion currently makes the most sense with larger vessels requiring long range capability (as battery powered electric systems require regular recharging) however at present there are only a few marine hydrogen facilities in the planning stage.

acionna mega yacht

The Acionna concept is for those who see themselves as an innovator, a trend setter, and the game changers. Those who certainly appreciate luxury but also want to have a positive impact.

We wanted to write this article not only because of the obvious beauty and love for the yachting world, but more so due to the positive impact the yacht would have on the world and the change in direction this yacht could create as far as how vessels, cruise lines, and alike boats are manufactured and produced around the world.

Meet acionna megayacht: 175 meter world cruiser like nothing else.

They often sat that large yacht are pretty conventional, but we are sure there’s space for something really different. Especially if it’s still a project: meet Andy Waugh’s Acionna megayacht.

If built, Acionna would be one of the largest megayachts in the world . Not just: looking at her aspect, whe would also be one of the most avant-garde ones. Her styling is almost confusing, as it has the proportions of a much smaller yacht on an exaggerated scale . So “from distance” you could say she’s under 100 metres, but when you look at the renderings in some of her natural environments she definitely looks huge.

Propulsion precursor

The interior space available within the design is colossal and could include almost any feature desired including potentially a full size squash court , helicopter hangar and a 20m indoor pool. Included in her 8 decks is a spectacular, double-height main saloon with panoramic curved glass overlooking the main aft deck pool.

Hydrogen propulsion currently makes the most sense in a vessel like Acionna, however at present there are only a few marine hydrogen facilities in the planning stage

Slightly more space will be used for the propulsion system in comparison to conventional designs as she is planned to be powered with hydrogen using a similar system currently being trialled in cruise ships and ferries . If the power used to manufacture the hydrogen is purchased from renewable energy sources the yacht could be said to be ‘zero impact’ .

The Acionna concept is for those who see themselves as trend setters and game changers , those who appreciate the zenith of luxury but also want to have a positive impact. And we like to see out-of-the-box projects like this, as we expect more to come from Andy Waugh .

Megayacht Acionna: Who Says Big Can’t Be Beautiful?

acionna mega yacht

At 175m, Acionna offers everything you could possibly wish for in a futuristic concept, which blows convention out of the water!

We would expect nothing less from British designer Andy Waugh , who has created a megayacht design with his usual flair and style.  

acionna mega yacht

The interior space is not only vast to accommodate the most imaginative of owners’ requirements but offers an inspired central design with panoramic views.    

The way this vessel will be powered is also ground-breaking and forward thinking.   The use of hydrogen propulsion bought from renewable energies could mean that Acionna has zero impact on the environment.   By creating these types of vessel, new hydrogen facilities will become more viable for more and more seagoing vessels. It’s history in the making.

So how does Andy describe his latest concept?

“The Acionna concept is for those who see themselves as trendsetters and game changers, those who appreciate the zenith of luxury but also want to have a positive impact.”

That sounds great to us.  

These designs help to advance the megayacht technology in all its forms to drive the industry forward. We can’t wait to see his next ideas.

Andy Waugh unveils 175m superyacht concept Acionna

British yacht designer Andy Waugh has revealed his largest superyacht concept to date – the 175-metre (574-foot) Acionna.

A world-cruising superyacht inspired by Norwegian ferries and cruise liners, Acionna has been designed to dispel the myth that larger yachts are old-fashioned and bound by convention. She boasts contemporary styling inside and out, and her vast size has allowed Waugh to implement elegant lines and proportions.

The interior space on board is plentiful and can potentially accommodate a full-size squash court, helicopter hangar and a 20-metre indoor pool. Arranged over eight decks, a double-height main saloon would be equipped with panoramic curved glass, overlooking the main aft deck pool.

Waugh says the concept will be powered by hydrogen using a similar system currently being trialled in ferries and cruise ships. If the power used to manufacture the hydrogen is acquired from renewable energy sources, he suggests the yacht could be considered ‘zero impact’.

“Hydrogen propulsion currently makes the most sense with larger vessels requiring long range capability, however at present there are only a few marine hydrogen facilities in the planning stage,” Waugh commented.

“Until vessels like this one are built there will be no way to increase demand for hydrogen thereby breaking the chicken and egg stalemate of supply and demand. Building hydrogen facilities is not economic without the demand from numerous hydrogen powered vessels."

One of the unique features of Acionna is her stern pool, comprising a central ‘island’ of communal areas completely surrounded by the pool and accessed via a tunnel aft and a bridge forward. The pool flows constantly down the sloped transom, which can be used as a slide, and into a lower pool on the swim platform.

"The Acionna concept is for those who see themselves as trend setters and game changers - those who appreciate the zenith of luxury but also want to have a positive impact," Waugh added.

Andy Waugh Unveils 175m Superyacht Concept Acionna

megayacht waugh 175m

The interior space of this eight-deck vessel is colossal and versatile and may include a full-size squash court, helicopter hanger and a 20-meter indoor pool. The main saloon is two decks high and has panoramic curved glass overlooking the main aft deck pool.

The area leading down to the swimming platform is unusual as it is comprised of a central island of communal areas surrounded entirely by the pool and accessed via a tunnel aft and the bridge forward. The pool flows continuously down the sloped transom and into a lower pool of the swim platform.

Additionally, slightly more space will be used for the propulsion system when compared to conventional design as Acionna will be powered with hydrogen using a system similar to one currently being tried in cruise ships and ferries. The superyacht could possibly be considered a zero impact vessel if the power used to manufacture the hydrogen is acquired from renewable energy sources.

Waugh noted that he designed the Acionna concept for those who see themselves as trendsetters and game changes who appreciate the zenith in luxury but also want to have a positive impact on the environment.

A Yacht Concept To Triumph Them All

Super Yacht ACIONNA Concept by Andy Waugh - The Luxury Lifestyle Magazine

Many yacht concepts will make you look twice. Then there is the yacht concept ; at 175m/574ft in length the ‘Acionna’ is the epitome of world cruising mega yachts. At first glance it is very clear that Acionna is entirely unique, through her avant-garde styling a feast-for-the-eyes from every angle is exaggerated by her elegant proportions and sheer scale. The length of the boat is not only worth noting, as many yacht enthusiasts quickly look out for – there are 8 full floors/decks on the yacht and beam width being very generous in providing more than enough living and accessible space. Thus why the images of Acionna are trending virally online, and will most definitely create an offer, if not many offers from the ultra wealthy yacht enthusiasts or yacht goer to go ahead and build the yacht.

The interior space is extremely large and able to include almost any feature you may desire including a full size squash court, helicopter hanger, and a 20m indoor pool (Yes, you read correctly a full 20m indoor pool, for your convenience if your already doing the math or conversion – thats 65 feet long, inside of a boat!) 

Our favorite aspect of the ACIONNA is the design both on the outside, however more so on the inside. To clarify we are not only referring to its beautiful interior finishings, and amenities such as pools, spas, entertainment, etc, but the functions of the yacht, the engine build out and focus on the future in bettering our world and changing the way yachts are built.

Here is a direct insight to what we are speaking of on the inside: Included in her total of 8 decks is a spectacular, double-height main saloon with panoramic curved glass overlooking the main deck pool. This area of the design leading down to the swimming platform is highly unusual as it comprises of a central ‘island’ of communal areas completely surrounded by the pool and accessed via a tunnel and a bridge forward. The pool flows constantly down the sloped transom and into a lower pool of the swim platform, whether this is used as a method of egress is left up to the individual. Slightly more space will be used for the propulsion system in comparison to conventional designs as she is planned to be powered with hydrogen using a similar system currently being trialled in cruise ships and ferries.

Andy Waugh reveals 175m concept Acionna

British designer Andy Waugh has unveiled a new 175 metre yacht concept, called Acionna.

Designed to create a vast amount of interior space, Waugh predicts that Acionna could accommodate almost any desired feature, from a full-size squash court – undoubtedly a nod to the much admired padel tennis court on Aviva – to a helicopter hangar or 20 metre indoor pool.

Included in her eight decks is a double-height main saloon with panoramic curved glass windows overlooking a U-shaped main aft deck pool with two cascading waterfalls. This bathing area leads down to the swim platform and offers a highly original arrangement which sees an ‘island’ of social spaces, including lounge and dining areas as well as two bars, surrounded by the pool and accessed via a tunnel aft and a bridge forward.

“Acionna is the ultimate world cruising megayacht and challenges many of the preconceptions about larger yachts”, says Waugh. “Her avant-garde styling is a feast-for-the-eyes from every angle, exaggerated by her elegant proportions and sheer scale.”

Designed for long distance cruising, Acionna’s power will come from a hydrogen propulsion system, rather than traditional battery powered electric systems which would require regular recharging. It also allows the yacht to be considered ‘zero-impact’ if a renewable source of energy is used to manufacture the hydrogen. However, this kind of technology is still being developed with only a few marine hydrogen facilities in the planning stage.

“The concept is for those who see themselves as trendsetters and game changers, those who appreciate the zenith of luxury but also want to have a positive impact”, added Waugh.

Andy Waugh has become known for his boundary-pushing yacht concepts which, in recent years, have included 45 metre Revolution and 90 metre Nouveau .

A model of Acionna is set to be unveiled at Monaco Yacht Show in September 2018.

Acionna: the ultimate fusion of luxury and sustainability.

Acionna, the ultimate world cruising megayacht, defies the conventional norms of larger yachts with its remarkable size of 175 meters. This extraordinary vessel challenges preconceptions with its avant-garde styling, captivating onlookers from every angle. Its elegant proportions and sheer scale contribute to its unique allure, setting it apart from the homogeneity often associated with similar yachts.

acionna mega yacht

The interior space of Acionna is colossal, offering limitless possibilities for customization. It could potentially house a full-size squash court, a helicopter hangar, and even a 20-meter indoor pool. Among its eight decks, the double-height main saloon stands out, adorned with panoramic curved glass that provides breathtaking views of the main aft deck pool. Unusually, this area of the design features a central "island" of communal spaces surrounded entirely by the pool, connected by a tunnel aft and a bridge forward. The pool cascades down the sloped transom, flowing into a lower pool on the swim platform. Whether this unique design element serves as an exit route is left to the individual's discretion.

acionna mega yacht

In comparison to conventional designs, Acionna allocates slightly more space to its propulsion system. It is planned to be powered by hydrogen, utilizing a similar system currently being tested in cruise ships and ferries. If the hydrogen production relies on renewable energy sources, the yacht could be considered "zero impact." However, the adoption of hydrogen propulsion faces challenges, as the demand for hydrogen-powered vessels is limited, preventing the growth of marine hydrogen facilities. The construction of these facilities is economically unviable without the demand generated by a fleet of hydrogen-powered vessels.

Zephyr Megayacht

The newest megayacht from the drawing board of Dörries Yachts is downright heavenly.

“Zephyr represents a harmonious balance of bold creativity and enduring style, making it a standout in any era,” Dörries Yachts CEO Henning Dörries told Robb Report via email.

“The final design is not only stunning but also boasts a timeless appeal with modern surfacing and meticulous detailing,” added H2 owner Jonny Horsfield. “Featuring expansive glass and spacious outdoor decks, Zephyr epitomizes the contemporary preferences of today’s discerning clientele.”

The interior is sure to be gargantuan, though Dörries has yet to specify the gross tonnage. The German shipyard also didn’t share any details regarding the layout of the living quarters, but pictures of the exterior show that Zephyr will certainly not be short on luxury amenities.

Zephyr Megayacht

Starting at the top, the sundeck is adorned with a plunge pool and sun pads forward and a large circular lounge aft. Alfresco dining areas big enough for 12 and more plush lounges grace the next two decks, while an inviting Jacuzzi occupies pride of place in the bow. The bow is so long it can also accommodate a helicopter that can be used for comings and goings. The owner’s suite will likely have private access to the bow area, as is customary with many high-end cruisers.

Dörries Yachts has unveiled some pretty extraordinary megayachts and explorers over the past few years, but Zephyr is perhaps one of the most divine designs. The best part? The megyacht is up for sale. More details will be announced at the Monaco Yacht Show in late September, with a full sales brochure also available to interested buyers.

Steve Jobs' mega yacht bashed a billionaire's boat in Italy

Malcolm Owen's Avatar

Steve Jobs' Venus hits another yacht [Instagram/Ricardo Salinas Pliego]

acionna mega yacht

Last updated 3 days ago

A pair of luxury yachts came into contact with each other off the coast of Naples, Italy on Wednesday. The at-sea incident saw Venus , a luxury yacht build for the late Steve Jobs impact that of Mexican retail and broadcasting giant Ricardo Salinas Pliego.

Salinas posted to Instagram a video of Venus drifting toward and into the side of the Lady Moura , his own super-sized yacht. Traveling at a luxuriously slow pace, the front bow of Venus made contact side-on with the other craft, reports Forbes .

After the impact, Venus was shown to bounce and drift backward, wafting away from the Lady Moura .

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Don Ricardo Salinas Pliego (@ricardosalinas)

The video seemingly demonstrates that the crew of Venus failed to intervene quickly enough to avoid the collision, despite Salinas' crew using horns and shouting at the opposing crew.

"I would like to know what the captain and crew were doing that they didn't see a yacht the size of mine," Salinas commented with the video. "You see that there are no shortage of idiots in the world."

Salinas wasn't on the Lady Moura , with the 344-foot yacht anchored in place. Laurene Powell Jobs wasn't aboard Venus either.

While the glacial-speed impact didn't cause any serious damage to either boat, Salinas claims there is a "big scratch" on the side of his vessel. Since it's a big boat made for someone worth about $10 billion, the scratch will apparently cost a lot to repair.

Seemingly jokingly, Salinas asked his followers to buy Apple products via the Group Elektra retail chain that he owns, so Powell Jobs could pay for the damage.

It's likely that Powell Jobs, worth $14.4 billion, could probably afford the repair bill without needing some retail assistance if the insurance doesn't cover it.

Somebody is going to be dusting off and updating their resume. 

" Salinas asked his followers to buy Apple products via the Group Elektra retail chain that he owns, so Powell Jobs could pay for the damage." 😆

ihatescreennames said: Somebody is going to be dusting off and updating their resume.  I think multiple people will be let go after that.

Why does this amuse me? “Excuse me, do you have any Grey Poupon?” “Why of cour… TOO CLOSE! TOO CLOSE!!”

My guess is the boat captain was a little busy getting a happy ending somewhere not in the wheelhouse.

St Petersburg Marina

By Chris Boyle

A Luxury yacht in St Petersburg

The idea of Russian billionaires and luxury private yachts go hand in hand; unfortunately, the reality is somewhat different.

Regulations regarding foreign vessels entering ports in Russia are very strict and often change; special permission must usually be obtained in order to enter the port of St Petersburg. Many of the delightful waterways of the city and the rest of Russia are considered out of bounds. However, for those that are willing to persevere through the troublesome process of obtaining permission, they will find St Petersburg a delightful place to sail in. The two marinas to offer berths to foreign guests are well equipped, and St Petersburg is ideally located in the Gulf of Finland to allow for sailing to several Scandinavian countries.

KRESTOVSKI YC

Located just 500m (1,640ft) to the east of the St Petersburg River Yacht Club, the Krestovsky Marina opened in 2010 and was designed to bring European standards to the city.

There are toilets, showers, free Wi-Fi, a laundry and electricity available. As well as 150 berths and room for yachts up to 40m (131ft), the marina has a shop and a repair facility. There are a host of fantastic restaurants within a five-minute walk. Make sure you ring ahead to ensure berth space.

ST PETERSBURG RIVER YACHT CLUB

St Petersburg River Yacht Club

One of two marinas in St Petersburg to allow foreign visitors, the St Petersburg River Yacht Club has existed in one form or another since 1858.

The marina has some 350 berths, with space for yachts up to 40m (131ft) and mooring facilities for yachts up to 30m (98ft). There are repair facilities in a separate harbor, as well as a 12.5-tonne crane for lifting boats out of the water. The marina also has a wealth of services available, including showers and toilets, electricity, Wi-Fi access and a floating gas station, as well as the use of the club facilities. There are several restaurant options available, including premier eatery ‘The Sea’, which has a beautiful view over the harbor and is especially delightful during the summer months. This marina is located between the mouths of Malaya Neva and Malaya Nevka, and is just a short drive from the main areas of St Petersburg.

Floating resorts vs yacht-like vessels: How to pick between big and small cruise ships

Portrait of Nathan Diller

  • Small ships are more like quaint towns, with easier navigation and more personalized service.
  • Large ships offer a wide range of eateries, bars and entertainment.

The right ship comes down to the type of vacation experience you want.

I took two cruises in July, and they couldn’t have been more different.

After spending 10 days on Seabourn Pursuit, the cruise line’s 264-guest expedition vessel, I returned home for a few days before boarding Royal Caribbean International’s Utopia of the Seas , which can accommodate over 20 times that.

Cruise ships range in size from yacht-like vessels to mega-ships that are more like floating resorts. And as much as cruises may be about the ports they visit, the ship you pick can shape the destination you can access and ultimately, the kind of trip you have. Here’s how they differ and how to know which is right for you.

What are small-ship cruises like?

If mega-ships can feel like cities at sea, small ships are perhaps more like quaint towns. It’s easier to find your way around, faces become familiar quickly and the server at the nearby eatery knows how you like your eggs.

“The service is just 100% going to be much more intense than any other type of sailing,” said Joanna Kuther, a New York City-based travel agent and owner of Port Side Travel Consultants. The majority of cruise lines sailing ships with capacities in the 200 to 700 range are luxury brands that already put a premium on service – though that can vary by operator – but there are practical reasons too.

Many of those ships have higher crew-to-guest ratios, making it easier to give customers a personalized experience. “We want people to feel that it’s (a) yacht-like atmosphere,” Natalya Leahy, president of Seabourn, told USA TODAY on board.

Small-ship cruises generally bundle more in their fares than those on larger vessels, from food to drinks like wine and spirits, select excursions and more. Some inclusions can be particularly extravagant.

On Seabourn, for example, guests can order caviar for delivery any time of day at no additional cost (I had to try it out for research purposes during an expedition through Western Australia’s Kimberley region ).

That doesn’t necessarily mean the price tags will be higher, though. While the upfront fare may cost more, by the time guests add up drink packages , specialty dining, Wi-Fi and other extras that are typically charged separately on large mainstream ships, their expenses may not be so different.

“Don't worry about what you're paying when you go on,” Kuther said. “It's what you pay when you come off.”

If the prospect of thousands of cabins and fellow guests seems overwhelming, a small ship can also offer a more manageable experience. Lines and crowds are a relative rarity and there’s less chance of getting lost trying to find your room (a situation I’ve encountered more than once on large ships).

Getting on and off is easier, Kuther added, with the vessels often docking closer to the city center or in ports that can’t accommodate larger vessels. They also stay overnight more frequently, relieving the pressure of packing sightseeing into a shorter window.

“That is amazing because if you've ever gotten off of a mega-ship tendering into Santorini, it's like the most insane thing,” she said. “Like, you're fighting for your life to get into the funicular. So, it’s definitely an elevated experience.”

While many are well-appointed, they do have a more limited number of amenities and dining options. On an Aurora Expeditions Antarctica cruise in December, the Sylvia Earle ship had only two restaurants. I enjoyed the food and some offerings rotated, but by the end of the 11-day trip I was ready to change it up.

Travelers with children may find the ships lacking in kid-friendly activities, too.

What are big-ship cruises like?

By contrast, guests on big ships are spoiled for choice. “You can't beat the variety if that's what you're looking for,” said Kuther.

Larger ships offer a wide range of eateries, bars and entertainment. Carnival Cruise Line’s Jubilee ship, for example, has more than 20 dining options, from Guy’s Burger Joint to tacos and burritos at BlueIguana Cantina and Coastal Slice pizza – not to mention the BOLT: Ultimate Sea Coaster , a water park, and Loft 19, a quieter retreat at the top of the vessel.

Those kinds of ships can be particularly well-suited to families or large groups who want options. Royal Caribbean divided its Oasis Class – and later Icon Class – into neighborhoods with that in mind.

“Everyone has got something to do and are excited to do during the day … And then in the evening, everybody can come together in one of I don’t know how many restaurants and have a great family meal or a date night or just a burger, and then they have a fantastic show,” president and CEO Michael Bayley said in a media briefing on board Utopia.

Large ships have more to offer passengers “who really want to party” as well, Kuther noted.

The scale also allows cruise lines to create more immersive experiences. On Utopia, the second-largest cruise ship in the world , I had dinner outside one night at the Chops Grille steakhouse in the vessel’s Central Park neighborhood. With a breeze blowing through the open-air walkway and the sound of crickets in the background – which the cruise line pipes in – I could’ve been convinced I wasn’t on a ship. 

Guests are less likely to feel the movement of the waves at that size, which also can be helpful for passengers who are fearful of water or prone to seasickness , Kuther said.

A number of cruise lines have ship-within-a-ship concepts , too, that allow guests to escape the crowds in exclusive accommodations, restaurants and sun decks, while still having access to the wider range of onboard offerings (though some offer a greater degree of separation than others).

It’s worth noting, however, that “small” and “big” are relative terms, and many mainstream cruise lines operate ships in the 1,500-to-2,500-passenger range. Those can offer a kind of middle ground, with a more intimate experience often at a lower price point (though Kuther noted that’s partly because those ships tend to be older).

Still, the overall experience of a bigger ship may cause sensory overload for some travelers.

Which is right for me?

  • If you’re looking for adventure on an expedition or want to be pampered on a quiet, lower-key vessel, small ships are the way to go.
  • If you want lots of things to do, places to eat and ways to party, consider a bigger ship . But there’s sure to be one that suits you.

As Kuther put it, “(If) people say they don't like cruising, I will always 100% say, ‘You just weren't on the right cruise.’”
