What happens to cruise ships when they're retired? 🛳️ Peter Knego, a cruise historian, explains the stages of their demise ⤵️
“Older ships tend to get eliminated when steel prices are on the rise, when economic conditions are poor for the second and third tier cruise lines operating older ships, after the implementation of more rigid safety regulations that some older ships no longer can meet and due to rising fuel costs or international crises such as the Covid-19,” he says.
It can take hundreds of people to dismantle a cruise vessel, a job that comes with risk to workers and the local environment. The number of times a ship is sold and renamed is more about timing and demand for steel, he explains.
