- Vision Class
Vision Class is a term
Royal Caribbean International uses to refer to six of itscruise ship s. Although called a "class" by Royal Caribbean, actually it consists of two pairs of sister ships and another pair of sister ships that was later split up into two different ships by a lengthening of one of the ships. They are not identical to each other and as such do not constitute a class by the actual definition of the term. In fact, the "Vision Class" is named after the last ship built, and formerly the largest ship in its class.Two of the ships were built at
Kvaerner Masa-Yards ,Helsinki New Shipyard ,Finland , while the others were built atChantiers de l'Atlantique ,St. Nazaire ,France (both shipyards are now a part ofAker Yards ).hips By Size
