A year and six days ago, I wrote a post on this blog listing the oldest cruise ships serving at the time at the world’s major cruise lines. I published the post on March 6, which was five days before the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus disease to be a worldwide pandemic. The world, and the cruise industry, has changed a lot since that time.

In this post, I am reposting the list with relevant updates, mostly for my curiosity. Keep in mind that I am getting most of this information from Wikipedia so there might be some errors. As a note, the statement “no other changes in fleet” means no other ships were retired or sold or scrapped, from what I can tell. It does not take into account the transfer of other ships into the fleet.
