In context
Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.
At 57,092 gross tons, Aegean Majesty is the 8,634th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT, so this hull is about 9.5 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 665 cruise ships held here, it ranks 222nd by tonnage — larger than 56% of that group. Their median tonnage is 43,009 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 143,289 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is The Bahamas (133 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Fincantieri, with 112 hulls on record.
Netherlands is the country of registry for 1,546 vessels in this directory, of which Aegean Majesty is the 36th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (839 ships), and the median vessel measures 2,810 GT. Browse every ship flagged Netherlands.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 22 cruise ships flying the Netherlands flag, of which 12 are larger by tonnage.
Aegean Majesty was built in 1996, making it 30 years old. It is one of 1,254 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 7,254 GT; within it this ship is the 116th largest. Across the whole of the 1990s the registry holds 12,006 vessels, median 4,956 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 226 vessels to Fincantieri, with a median tonnage of 54,655 GT, delivered between 1935 and 2026. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 220.0 m overall, Aegean Majesty is 21.9 m longer than the 198.1 m median for cruise ships on record, with a beam of 31.0 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9102992 this registry holds 51 other vessels, whose median build year is 1995 and which range from 1993 to 2000. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1996.
Its IMO number, 9102992, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 1×6 + 0×5 + 2×4 + 9×3 + 9×2 = 122 — and the last digit of that total, 2, must equal the seventh digit, 2. It does, so this number is well formed.
