The Voyager Class refers to a design of post-Panamax cruise ships owned and operated by Royal Caribbean International cruiselines. The only cruise ships in the world that are larger are RCI's Freedom Class and Cunard's RMS Queen Mary 2. The Voyager class ships were built at Kvaerner Masa Yard’s (now Aker Finnyards) facility in Turku, Finland. The ships have a diesel-electric powertrain. They are powered by six Wärtsilä Vasa 46 diesel engines, giving a total output of 75,600 kW. The generated electric power drives three 14 MW ABB Azipod azimuth thrusters (two steerable and one fixed).

[edit] Destinations
