She can't come over here because the Panama Canal is too small. The Panama Canal can only fit a ship 950' by 105' and I would guess a draft around 30' to 40' due to the locks are 85' deep.

I am here. Any photos of this ship??? I doubt she can get into Victoria Harbour. The biggest ships that go in the harbour is the Coho ferry. If your talking about the inner habour?? But no cruise ships go in the harbour except for mini cruise ships.

Karl, this ship hasn't even started construction, It's being built at Aker in Oslo, the project name is Genisis and it will be 220,000 tons with a double occupancy of 6000 people plus 1500 crew. Compared to the biggest cruise ship to visit Victoria (Sapphire princess 110,000 tons) this thing is double the size.

You can add more features to the ship if they are bigger. Carribean cruising has been an RCCL big industry. The Ultra Voyagers will be in the Carribean and a Voyager or two will be placed in Europe. If Panama wants to keep up with the bigger ships, they are going to have to expand it to handle ships that are three times as large as the current canal can handle.
