How this list works

Rankings use only figures each cruise line publishes about its own ships, linked from every ship page. Ships without the relevant figure are left out rather than estimated. Nobody pays to be on or move up this list; a sponsored row, if shown, is marked "AD · SPONSORED · not ranked", has no number, and the numbering skips it. Methodology.
