Cruise Ship - Shipyards

Shipyards

The construction market for cruise ships is dominated by two European companies and two Asian companies:

  • STX Europe of South Korea with two shipyards:
    • STX Finland at Perno shipyard in Turku, Finland.
    • STX France at Chantiers de l'Atlantique in Saint-Nazaire, France.
  • Fincantieri of Italy.
  • Meyer Werft of Germany.
  • Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of Japan.

A large number of cruise ships have been built by other shipyards, but no other individual yard has reached the large numbers of built ships achieved by the four above. A handful of old ocean liners also remain in service as cruise ships.
