Very interesting design, but I have some concerns about it. 1. How will this ship be maneuvered in a harbor? I don't see many places a tug could hook on to. 2. The sails will limit the number of ports the ship can visit because of bridges. 3. Only 4 lifeboats? Those things better be able to hold huge amounts of people, otherwise its Titanic all over again. 4. I don't like the idea of a multi-hull cruise ship. If the ship gets hit by a big enough wave, the sections connecting the hulls could break.
I've always thought the most beautiful ones were from the early 19th century. The three sister ships of the White Star Line (Olympic, Titanic, and Britannic) are ones I've always loved the designs of.
Very good design. What most people don't know it that this trimaran hull and sail configuration will help make this ship more stable (in roll) than other ships in the industry. Currently ships use a combination of gyros and stabilizers to counteract roll. LNG (Liquid Natural Gas) is the maritime fuel of the future that is already in use in cargo ships. NG in its liquid state is very safe. If you fill a cup of LNG, you could dip a lit cigaret into the cup and it would go out. LNG converter
This will sure come in handy in a "Waterworld" situation, provided that it will also be equipped with cannons and machine guns for fighting off post-apocalyptic pirates.
este es el nuevo crucero mas grande del mundo aproximo 2015 es un barco muy moderno con un nuevo diseño increíble es una ciudad futura muy admirable este es mi comentario Que Dios les de la vida con toda las ideas muy Excelente
@lauriemama Its meant as a vessel to be environmentally friendly if you failed to notice, multi hull design means less resistance in the water, Meaning less engine power needed to get the vessel moving.. The sails are a way of capturing wind energy and it doesn't have to go under all bridges, More then a few port locations around the world that have no bridges impeding such a vessel, In any case they can unload/load passengers offshore somewhat.
Innovative idea concept and design. I hope to see several of these ships floating our seas in my lifetime. Everything from passenger cruisers to commercial tankers and container haulers. We all need to do what we can to be responsible with our environment. And as the they said in the video, all life originates from the oceans. If life in the oceans die, we die with it.
Id love to see some supporting documentation from the designers - a Bermuda rig that big is going to have some really interesting sail control challenges.
@jdrubay14 The sails are computer controled and would furl in if the winds picked up. They might keep one or two part way out (storm configuation) to maintain stablity.
@MattRowland95 Actually the ship is more stable than currently ships in service. You see those little out rigger floats on the side of the ship. That's what keeps it upwright. Many racing sailboats use this when racing around the world. The sails can be retracted when the winds pick up.
@DJDRecc You know these vessels. How about Sedov or Kruzernstern? The other still sailing ship or the era of great grain races from Austraralia to Europe. Do you know where Moshulu is now or Pommern?
Awesome. Sails can combine as solar panels, now that flexible ultra thin solar cells are being developed. The power from these vast flexible panels can be used to provide electricity to the ship and also provide auxiliary power to the ship's motors, reducing power consumption even further.
The reason why would be to show passengers the safety of the ship itself, its stability and to prove the technology in its designs helps to ride out such storms and waves.
Hmm... instead of using old school canvas for the sails... they should try to make solar sails, catching the wind as well as the sun, this in turn can power every cabin on board. sound good?
Submarines have a very different shape, that allows them to cut through those streams. The strong underwater waves are one of the reasons you can't make a submarine that can contain as many people as a cruise ship can. The resistance of the water would be so much greater than the engine, that it would simply go with the "underwater waves" or stream.
@captainjack63 Its still 40% less energy by volume then diesel (as a pose to 75% less in its gaseous form). I'm not disagreeing with you just pointing it out. Realistically the additional space required for fuel storage is a mute point for trains and ships by and large. Though the weigh is the big limiting factor for converting planes to LNG. The tanks are fairly substantial by necessity.
LNG converter to its gas state will expand 600 times it's liquid state. This is a very good low pressure method of storing NG. Oh and the cost of LNG is already becoming cheaper than diesel and other bunker fuels.
It wont this is a sea vessel and there is none of that out at sea. If you have seen the most recent vessel that Shell put out for sea drilling then you can see that this would be easily done. The only blocking factor is funding I am sure.
beats me but no one knows about the future technology it cannot sail in the rivers cause they are too small and this ship is like 2 godzillas combined under bridges hmm.... maybe the bridges will open into half now not all of the bridges will open. but in the future and this is my favourite ship ever. in reply to CLAIDIA ZIMMS
How would they go to port, get repaired/painted/maintained? Would they need to bus the passengers out to them via another ship? Would they need to build new huge, expensive shipyards for reparations and maintenance? How would these ships sail thru' the Suez and Panama Canals? All ships needs to dock sometime, and most docks require going into a harbor.
The question is how does this ship is going to behave on a huge storm.Are the sails foldable so they can withstand gale force winds?How is the vessel going to behave on massive storm?Is it going to be stable enough?Being a trimaran might give it some stability but on the other hand such massive architecture might behave in a very different way than a smaller vessel.
@SuperAshai Total understatement. If you would actually take a look at the cruises, for example the Oasis of the Seas. Probably the most beautiful cruise ship I have ever been on. It doesn't mean you can't plan holidays, it means you save money and hassle while being on a ship sailing to different parts of the world. Instead of buying a 700 dollar plane ticket for each and every family member. Plus the food and all the entertainment.
ma se lacarena è completamente piatta come fanno ha gestire lo scarroccio? e come si comporterebbe prendendo onde e vento al traverso. Nel video il mare e il vento è perfetto ma si sa che non lo sarà quasi mai... sono piuttosto scettico su questa nave...
@kenig2010 CNG (compressed natural gas) I don't think they would use this form of storage. Now days many ships and trucks are using LNG (Liquid Natural Gas). What the difference? Well if you chill NG to -329 deg F the gas becomes liquidified. In fact it shrinks down 600 times its gas state. Talk about awesome storage capacity! It's also safe. You can even put a match to it and it would go out.
Average cruise uses about 15 gal. fuel per passenger per day. If the cruise ship industry was a country, it would be in the top 5 highest oil consuming nations. They need alternatives, and even though the double skin removes the balconies, `I would book that cruise to St. Maarten .
I remember watching this so many times as a kid 😂 still waiting on it!
That voice sounds like an evil fictional corporation spokesperson.
The type that gets the entire public on board (no pun intended heheheh), and then you're the one guy that knows that they have evil intent?
Ikr???

Not really, trimarans are some of the strongest ships. Search up “Ady Gil Ship”
I've always thought the most beautiful ones were from the early 19th century. The three sister ships of the White Star Line (Olympic, Titanic, and Britannic) are ones I've always loved the designs of.
they can triple the efficiency if they put wint turbine and solar pannel on sail
Don't care how many people say its ugly it looks pretty damn cool.
2019 going 2020 and nothing yet...
Very good design. What most people don't know it that this trimaran hull and sail configuration will help make this ship more stable (in roll) than other ships in the industry. Currently ships use a combination of gyros and stabilizers to counteract roll.

Will not be going under too many bridges.
i am so glad an engineer and expert has weighed in.
Four lifeboats would be a bad idea. Say if the ship had to quickly evacuate, having a huge Que wouldn't help.
This will sure come in handy in a "Waterworld" situation, provided that it will also be equipped with cannons and machine guns for fighting off post-apocalyptic pirates.
Can I fart now to harness the energy?!!!
The Cunard Line still runs beautiful luxury liners that are a throwback to the glory days of cruisinig.
I think I'm in love.
este es el nuevo crucero mas grande del mundo aproximo 2015 es un barco muy moderno con un nuevo diseño increíble es una ciudad futura muy admirable este es mi comentario Que Dios les de la vida con toda las ideas muy Excelente
It's 2015 and we have none of this.
3 years in the future in the year of 2018 this will still not happen
I love how we went from paddles, to sails, to steam engines, to petroleum engines, to nuclear propulsion, and now back to sails.
@lauriemama Its meant as a vessel to be environmentally friendly if you failed to notice, multi hull design means less resistance in the water, Meaning less engine power needed to get the vessel moving..

Yes, that is what 'their' going to do. Wonderful summary.
This looks so cool!
This gets you no closer to the ocean than being on the tenth floor of a seaside resort hotel.
Id love to see some supporting documentation from the designers - a Bermuda rig that big is going to have some really interesting sail control challenges.
Simply Astounding, we went from Wind Power, to Steam Power, to diesel generators and finally back to wind power? We are progressing very well indeed.
Hi, That's great! What cruise liner will first have this new model cruise ship? What ship builder is it?
The wind propulsion part is possible, given that it is used on the Wind Surf, Wind Star, Wind Spirit, Wind Song(scuttled)
Oh my God amazing , replacing titanic !!!!
I love ittt!!!!!!
@jdrubay14 The sails are computer controled and would furl in if the winds picked up. They might keep one or two part way out (storm configuation) to maintain stablity.
Amazing-I'll have a humble Pimms and Lemonade with Cucumber slices to sip away at whilst the ship cruise the seas away....
Everybody gets all upset about new things and change but seriously people changes like this are good!!!!
This video made me feel good. Is there a title or titles for the music used?
@MattRowland95 Actually the ship is more stable than currently ships in service. You see those little out rigger floats on the side of the ship. That's what keeps it upwright. Many racing sailboats use this when racing around the world. The sails can be retracted when the winds pick up.
Never been on a cruise ship...but it looks impressive!
@DJDRecc
You know these vessels. How about Sedov or Kruzernstern? The other still sailing ship or the era of great grain races from Austraralia to Europe. Do you know where Moshulu is now or Pommern?
and what did you do in taifun?
i think not that it is possible to fix this large sails if there comes a real taifun, huricane or so :DDDD
this video is amazing and i love the video and i liked the boat
@Cizza225 More power in wind than curretnly in solar pannels. Also the sails are more cost effective over solar panels.
That ship looks epic.
Awesome. Sails can combine as solar panels, now that flexible ultra thin solar cells are being developed. The power from these vast flexible panels can be used to provide electricity to the ship and also provide auxiliary power to the ship's motors, reducing power consumption even further.
Where can I order one of these?
Beautiful But is it unsinkable?
But admit it... When you'll first see this colossus in front of you, you'll go "oh ssshhhiiiiiittttttt" while slowly looking up!
I like this ship design and energy efficiency and no need to use diesel power. I like to ride this ship when its out to the world. :)
With only 4 lifeboats and only one outdoor space?...have fun :P
That lady's voice is putting me in the mood.
I was thinking that too. In rougher waters, that pool area would definitely not be safe.
Saving the earth is great. I think this design is a great idea.
I think it looks awesome
Magnifique concept.
vive la France
A great futuristic cruise ship indeed, where rightly GREEN is ultimate word!This is the future too in metro cities.
I would spend all my life on board!...all on this ship:))
What is the name of the song that plays at the beginning and end?
really good designs!
The reason why would be to show passengers the safety of the ship itself, its stability and to prove the technology in its designs helps to ride out such storms and waves.
this gets you no closer to the ocean than being on the 5th floor of a beach resort.
Hmm... instead of using old school canvas for the sails... they should try to make solar sails, catching the wind as well as the sun, this in turn can power every cabin on board. sound good?

Could someone tell me the song names? I really liked the songs.
LNG converter to its gas state will expand 600 times it's liquid state. This is a very good low pressure method of storing NG. Oh and the cost of LNG is already becoming cheaper than diesel and other bunker fuels.
yep. this is good. lets hope this will get done and have a future to protect our oceans.
Amazing Design I hope to see this ship sometimes in 2015
And 2015 passed already and it didn't happen
i like the way its greener
All very nice but are all the innovative tach your going on about just a load of pish?
Why dont the put arms coming out of the side with a water turrine on, so that as the ship moves, they turn and create electricity??
@Umbrella6826 Why do you think that they are to large?
what happens if the wind blows the wrong way or if there is no wind. without wind wouldn't the sails create enormous amounts of drag ???
@thefamousDrFeelgood
You forgot something else that is two captains also?
I hope this happens. I consider that paradise.
However, will there be any ship malfunctions ?
Who made this video? We need you to contact us. ASAP!
How can they cross bridges with those tall sails? Doesn't look so practical..
The sail cant make it move but it does make it look cool !!!!
This is awesome...!! But if It has alot of facilities, i thing it gonna be more intresting n memorable journey for us..!!
those days are long gone my friend.
@lilmiss1285 when did they say there was only 4 lifeboat?
How will it get into any harbors or rivers? (under bridges)
It wont this is a sea vessel and there is none of that out at sea. If you have seen the most recent vessel that Shell put out for sea drilling then you can see that this would be easily done. The only blocking factor is funding I am sure.
beats me but no one knows about the future technology it cannot sail in the rivers cause they are too small and this ship is like 2 godzillas combined under bridges hmm.... maybe the bridges will open into half now not all of the bridges will open. but in the future and this is my favourite ship ever. in reply to CLAIDIA ZIMMS
Ships of this nature DO NOT sail on rivers; they sail on Sea and Ocean! So the issue of getting near harbours or rivers shouldn't be considered.
How would they go to port, get repaired/painted/maintained? Would they need to bus the passengers out to them via another ship? Would they need to build new huge, expensive shipyards for reparations and maintenance? How would these ships sail thru' the Suez and Panama Canals? All ships needs to dock sometime, and most docks require going into a harbor.
Ok captain we need more power,ok tell them cooks to bring out the hot chilley out,lol
FINALLY, a cruise ship that won't dump all it's garbage and sewage in the ocean!
The question is how does this ship is going to behave on a huge storm.Are the sails foldable so they can withstand gale force winds?How is the vessel going to behave on massive storm?Is it going to be stable enough?Being a trimaran might give it some stability but on the other hand such massive architecture might behave in a very different way than a smaller vessel.
@SuperAshai Total understatement. If you would actually take a look at the cruises, for example the Oasis of the Seas. Probably the most beautiful cruise ship I have ever been on.

Instead of buying a 700 dollar plane ticket for each and every family member. Plus the food and all the entertainment.
it dont need to over moter power. it can help when on cruise speed. this way you can safe a lot of fuel.
I like it
Need some more pools
ma se lacarena è completamente piatta come fanno ha gestire lo scarroccio? e come si comporterebbe prendendo onde e vento al traverso. Nel video il mare e il vento è perfetto ma si sa che non lo sarà quasi mai... sono piuttosto scettico su questa nave...
Looks dangerously top heavy
"Re-bond with the vastness of the ocean where it all began". She actually just said that.
i really care about the nature, and this ship is a vonderful idea of eco positive tehnology. i like this, and this ship is beautiful :)
Thats one massive ship.
For that we'll first need to develop solar sails... Solar panels are generally quite fragile chips and can't be made into bendy fabric like material.
@EOverM It's more like ducting of a jet ski. No one has applied that to a ship before.
Am I nuts, or wouldn't air under the hull cause major squat?
Name of the song is Adagio, by Caspar Kedros.
This Is A Great Idea!!
@kenig2010 CNG (compressed natural gas) I don't think they would use this form of storage. Now days many ships and trucks are using LNG (Liquid Natural Gas). What the difference? Well if you chill NG to -329 deg F the gas becomes liquidified. In fact it shrinks down 600 times its gas state. Talk about awesome storage capacity! It's also safe. You can even put a match to it and it would go out.
@tupsumato Your're exactly right! Thanks for the chime in! ;-)
What about Solar Energy and Kinetic Energy harvested from wave generation?
thatd be an awesome job to work on this ship
Average cruise uses about 15 gal. fuel per passenger per day. If the cruise ship industry was a country, it would be in the top 5 highest oil consuming nations. They need alternatives, and even though the double skin removes the balconies, `I would book that cruise to St. Maarten .
@MadtownChucknut like... an aircraft carrier?
