Many of today's new designs emulate great ships of the past, such as the Queen Elizabeth, pictured on the cover. Also pictured on the cover, from left to right: Voyager of the Sea's innovative rock climbing wall; Holland America's Volendam; Disney's Wonder; and the artist's rendition of the next Cunard cruise ship, designed to be the world's largest. (Note: The Maritime Reporter logo, in the spirit of cruise ship design, has transformed a bit this month. The background image is the artist's ren- dition of the Olympic Dining Lounge/Room aboard Celebrity's new Millennium ships, with the first ship due from Chantiers de I' Atlantique this summer.
