Shipyard Gets Order for Liner Twice Size of QE2
LONDON — The world’s largest cruise ship, double the size of the luxury liner Queen Elizabeth 2, will be built in Northern Ireland for an Indian-born shipping magnate, a Belfast shipyard said today.
Harland & Wolff shipyard said the 1,132-foot vessel, under the project name “Ultimate Dream,” will carry more than 3,000 passengers in 1,500 hotel-like rooms, each with its own balcony. The shipyard has signed an agreement with shipowner Ravi N. Tikkoo’s Bahamas-based Tikkoo Cruise Line and expects a final contract for the $454-million project to be signed by September.
