| Adventurer of the Seas
was built at Kvaerner Masa Yard’s facility in Turku, Finland, at well over
the original estimated cost of $500m. This is partly because her owner
made a number of scale models of different concepts employed within the
design to ensure that they would work in real life. Designs for her
construction were approved by two classification societies: Lloyd's
Register and Det Norske Veritas. During construction, the 142,000gt vessel
was better known under the codename of Project Eagle. Kvaerner Masa
has a long relationship with RCCL, having constructed the company’s first
four ships: Song of Norway, Nordic Prince and Sun Viking in the early
1970s, and the Song of America in 1982. The company's Helsinki yard later
undertook the complex task of lengthening both the Song of Norway and
Nordic Prince in the first such operation ever performed on a passenger
ship. What is interesting about this class of ship is despite their size they manage to look quite pleasing to the eye.
