One year later the Achille Lauro, while sailing a passenger cruise, caught fire off the coast of Africa and sank. All passengers were safely rescued. The cruise line was launched around the premise of offering Europeans an affordable cruise vacation -- a concept that was fairly revolutionary in Today, its Europe-based ships compete primarily against Carnival Corp.
Both were retired from the fleet in For the first time, the line commissioned its own series of new-builds. The introduction of a new class of ships -- larger, more amenity laden and featuring an even higher ratio of private verandas -- emerged with MSC Musica. The line took another step forward and up with the launch of ,ton, 3,passenger vessels -- MSC Fantasia in November and MSC Splendida in spring , allowing the line to compete firmly in the mega-ship market dominated by brands like Carnival and Royal Caribbean.

All cruise ships from each cruise line were included in this report card. Friends of the Earth relied on data gathered from the internet, government sources, the cruise line industry, and other public sources in order to determine the grades assigned to the cruise lines. The second two cruise ships will be built by the Italian shipbuilder, Fincantieri. The ,ton vessels will be the first ships under the Seaside Class.
