How Do They Build Giant Cruise Ships? | The Meraviglia Cruise Ship | Spark

315 metres long, 65 metres high, weighing 80,000 tonnes and capable of transporting more than 7,000 people, the Meraviglia is the ultimate cruise ship. But how was she built? More than 2,500 people worked day and night, using the latest technological developments to lessen the environmental impact.

can people just appreciate how talented these engineers are?

I get the feeling that the narrator really loves the gantry crane

At 12:51 you can see him smiling after saying “two big balls”

The thing that amazes me is that its built around 650 million along with all of the stuff, and there are superyachts cost a 1/6th or a 1/4 for there yachts! I think it is very awesome how humans can do this in 3-4 years!

The title of this video made me believe this was a DIY project.

One of the best documentaries I've seen. So well done, and informationally rich.

Wow, the ship produces its own electricity. So now they can get rid of the extension cord.

I had been involved as an opening team for Majestic Princess in Fincantieri, Trieste, Italy. I was lucky to witness a born of a cruise ship and I understand how hard the work was to built one.

What a beautifully made advertisement. I’ll take two please lol

At first I thought this was a documentary about building a cruise ship…then I realized it was actually a test to see how many fucking ads they can squeeze into 10 minute intervals. Quit watching 20 minutes in and went back to Netflix.

yo thanks bro ima go build my ship now

I was confused about the power output until he clarified it by comparing it to 7000 washing machines. 7000 washing machines is so much more relatable. I don't know anyone who hasn't seen 7000 washing machines.

Very impressive documentary with great explanations. 👍 I look forward to your next video. 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦

[lattignon]

God bless all the teams and workers, this is oustanding, excellent video production as well. Generations will continue to owe you gratitude for all the good you do for humanity.

I still can't believe it floats. Beautiful and amazing.

Wow. This hydrodynamic engineering and Computational Fluid Dynamics is going to revolutionize the way that ships have sailed for the last 300 years. Modern ships always had pointed bows and propellers. As long as you can fit through the Suez Canal I guess you're good to go, now. There has also been great strides forward in the development of hydrofoil techniques, too, for smaller craft. My Dad was a foreman at a Republic Steel plant in Ohio in the 1950's and he said they made the best steel in the world. He would be very proud at how steel is being produced and used now.

I was on this ship on 2/26 for four nights. Best Saunas...I went on here for the saunas. I did the yatch club...AMAZING> Private island, Ocean Cay, one of the best islands .

the engineering is amazing - being on a boat with 7000 people is a nightmare
