In brief
Ruby Princess is a Crown-class cruise ship operated by Princess Cruises, a subsidiary of Carnival Corporation & plc. At 113,561 GT, the vessel is the third and last in a series of three ships, known as the Crown class, that was built with design modifications distinguishing them from their older Grand-class sister ships. Delivered in 2008 by Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri, Ruby Princess also became the ninth and final Grand-class ship to join the Princess Cruises fleet. Over 20 passengers on the ship died from Covid-19 in March 2020.

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 113,561 gross tons, Ruby Princess is the 2,482nd 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 19 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 665 cruise ships held here, it ranks 91st by tonnage — larger than 82% 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.
Bermuda is the country of registry for 177 vessels in this directory, of which Ruby Princess is the 31st largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (80 ships), and the median vessel measures 77,277 GT. Browse every ship flagged Bermuda.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 26 cruise ships flying the Bermuda flag, of which 8 are larger by tonnage.
Ruby Princess was built in 2008, making it 18 years old. It is one of 2,764 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 8,971 GT; within it this ship is the 82nd largest. Across the whole of the 2000s the registry holds 18,605 vessels, median 9,957 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 288.6 m overall, Ruby Princess is 90.4 m longer than the 198.1 m median for cruise ships on record, with a beam of 36.0 m and a draft of 8.5 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9378462 this registry holds 81 other vessels, whose median build year is 2008 and which range from 2005 to 2011. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2008.
Its IMO number, 9378462, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 3×6 + 7×5 + 8×4 + 4×3 + 6×2 = 172 — and the last digit of that total, 2, must equal the seventh digit, 2. It does, so this number is well formed.
