ON THE COVER
Ori the cruise shipping side, P&O Cruises' Oriana— the 850-ft. (259-m), 67,000-gt ship currently building
at Meyer Werft for delivery in 1 995 — is one of the most exciting examples of cruise ship technology in
recent years. Read how P&O subsidiary Princess Cruises, which has the largest cruise ship in the world on
order, and other major cruise lines are shaping the cruise vessels of tomorrow in our Cruise Industry Annual
section, which begins on page 33. On the commercial shipping side, the Howaldswerke-Deutsche Werft-
built Norasia Kiel exemplifies the theme of ship and boatbuilding technology: one of the first of a new class
of open-top containership which offers myriad advantages in terms of cargo transferral. Our Ship &
Boatbuilding Technology section begins on page 26.
