"We've been asked many times, 'Well in the cruise industry the next series of ships is always larger than the one before.' Well you know we're famous for breaking molds and going against the grain," Del Rio said. "Not all destinations in the world and we do want to be a global cruise line, not all destinations in the world can handle 4,000-, 5,000-passenger ships effectively. So we believe these vessels are the perfect size to delivery the top return on investment for our shareholders while providing the flexibility we need as a company to deploy these vessels throughout the world."
