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 139,072 gross tons, MSC Preziosa is the 1,763rd 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 23 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 665 cruise ships held here, it ranks 58th by tonnage — larger than 88% 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.
Panama is the country of registry for 9,598 vessels in this directory, of which MSC Preziosa is the 272nd largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (5,698 ships), and the median vessel measures 18,203 GT. Browse every ship flagged Panama.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 43 cruise ships flying the Panama flag, of which none is larger than MSC Preziosa.
MSC Preziosa was built in 2013, making it 13 years old. It is one of 2,213 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 22,566 GT; within it this ship is the 80th largest. Across the whole of the 2010s the registry holds 20,111 vessels, median 23,456 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 123 vessels to Chantiers de l'Atlantique, with a median tonnage of 63,786 GT, delivered between 1912 and 2026. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 333.3 m overall, MSC Preziosa is 135.2 m longer than the 198.1 m median for cruise ships on record, with a beam of 37.9 m and a draft of 8.7 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9595321 this registry holds 73 other vessels, whose median build year is 2012 and which range from 2010 to 2020. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2013.
Its IMO number, 9595321, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 5×6 + 9×5 + 5×4 + 3×3 + 2×2 = 171 — and the last digit of that total, 1, must equal the seventh digit, 1. It does, so this number is well formed.
