The sad fate of the Global Dream II, a sea giant 342 meters long, with a capacity of over 9,000 passengers: if a buyer is not found soon, it will be dismantled before ever sailing with pax.

The world's largest cruise ship, in terms of passenger capacity, with 20 decks, a water park, and a cinema, will soon be decommissioned before it has set sail even once. It's a sad fate for the Global Dream II, a huge £1.2 billion ship. If there is no buyer for this sea giant, there would be no other way to demolish it: the company that built it, in fact, is now bankrupt.

Not an easy sell, given the size of the Global Dream II, equipped with 20 bridges, 342 meters long, with a cinema, water park, and dozens of attractions. The construction of the boat, by the German-Hong Kong company MV Werften, was completed when the company was already in crisis. The ship cost £1.2 billion and would be the largest cruise ship in the world in terms of passengers. Despite all these nice features and a price that can also be "negotiated" given the uncertain terms of the manufacturer, there has still been no interest. According to the German trade press, the ship will soon be dismantled and the parts sold individually: the engines are already for sale, while the hull will be auctioned for scrap metal.

A slightly different fate for its twin, the Global Dream: it hasn't been sold either, but it's not even close to being discontinued yet. Both boats are currently in a shipyard in Germany, but that too has been sold.
