"How to build a cruise ship" Papenburg by ATLC

Papenburg Travel Guide: 14 reviews and 27 photos

Cruises and glamour

A ship like this takes just over a year to build. It will hold over 2000 passengers and the luxury inside is just unbelievable.
I took this picture through a window which doesn't help the quality. But you get the idea...

The photo's are not ot the best quality because many are made of photo's in the exhibition area and from films that were shown there. But the sheer grandness of it all is so impressive that you will get a good idea, I think.

PAPENBURG - CRUISE SHIP

I took this picture off a big photo in the exposition area. Now it looks like I was really there!
We saw this ship being launched on a film and we saw many workers on the right side of the picture running away fast to escape the big wave which was very funny to see.
