At 85,000 tons, HAL's "Project Vista" series of premium ships are the largest ever built for the company, and feature innovative exterior elevators. Located on both sides of the vessel and vertically transversing 10 decks, the elevators provide passengers with panoramic sea views. In addition to its Azipod propulsion system, the vessels' propulsion includes a full-scale diesel-electric power plant, backed up by a gas turbine as an additional power source, giving the vessel the capability to operate on either diesel or gas turbine power. The ships also will use the A/ipod propulsion system.
