A new Cruise Ship is ideal, but sometimes you can't wait a minimum of three years for design, and build time of a new vessel. The cost of a new build can also be a sobering issue when compared to the cost of a second-hand vessel. A typical 75,000gt to 100,000gt new build will set you back anywhere from US$400,000,000 to US$800,000,000.
A buyer of a second-hand vessel similar to the ones shown above can expect to spend between between US$60,000,000 and US$80,000,000.Definitely a bargain when compared to the price of a new build.
