Today we peel back the polished surface of cruising to examine the massive industrial machine underneath. We explore three stories spanning the lifecycle of cruise ships: Royal Caribbean's Anthem of the Seas facing emergency azipod repairs in Australia that forced a cancelled sailing and stranded thousands of passengers; Fred Olsen's Bolette completing a meticulous 16-day refit at Falmouth shipyard involving 350 workers and 40 apprentices; and China's Adora Magic City reaching the stunning milestone of one million passengers in just two years of service, backed by government policy driving a domestic cruise boom.
