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.
