The Royal Caribbean's Voyager- and Millenium-class ships will be the first cruise ship ever powered by GE's gas turbines. In addition to reducing engine-room noise and vibration and cutting emissions, this propulsion system - a departure from the traditional diesel engine - will make it possible for ships to set sail with a reduced maintenance crew and smaller parts inventory. This technology introduces and signals a new era in cruise-ship design.
