any ships bigger than Titanic

Nearly every modern cruise ship, with the exception of those going on 2-3 days from Miami to the Bahamas, are larger that the Titanic was.

When she sailed she was giant weighting in at 46,000 tons, but by todays standards, she would considered very small.

My wife and I will be sailing on Carnival Conquest, not the largest of vessels, but a massive ship non-the-less, and she weights in at 110,000 tons.

That should put things in perspective.

Ships Bigger Than Titanic

"These ships weigh in at 5 times what the Titanic did. " It's important to understand that gross tonnage is the method to compute the size of a passenger ship. GT has nothing to do with weight. It measures the internal space of a ship. Titanic was not the only ship of that design. She was an Olympic Class liner. The first ship in the class was Olympic, then Titanic and then Britannic. Britannic was the largest of the three. Technically, Olympic and Titanic had the exact same dimensions. Due to some modifications to her design, Titanic had more enclosed space which raised her GT and made her the largest vessel in the world in terms of gross tonnage. The German company Hapag, planned vessels that would be larger and grander than Titanic and the first of these, Imperator, entered service in 1913. She was bout 15% bigger than Titanic and had public rooms of a scale that dwarfed those on the Olympic Class. The average cruise ship today is quite a bit larger than Titanic. And why shouldn't they be? Titanic was built over a century ago. FYI: The actual weight of a ship is its displacement. Therefore, Titanic weighed about 52,ooo tons.

Well if you measure by length of the ship, most modern cruise ships are longer than the Titanic was, but some aren't much longer. Carnival Triumph is about 10 feet longer than the Titanic was. And to compare, Costa Concordia is about 70 feet longer than the Titanic was. However when comparing the size of one ship to another, they always go by gross tonnage. And using that scale, with a few exceptions, all modern cruise ships are significantly larger than the Titanic. Rounding to the nearest 1000 tons, the Titanic was 46,000 gross tons, huge for its day. But today, a 70,000 ton cruise ship is one of the smaller ones. Most are over 100,000 tons. The Costa Concordia by comparison is 114,500 gross tons.

There are tons of ships bigger than the Titanic. The Titanic was 883 feet long and the average cruise ship nowadays is over 900 feet. At the time, Titanic was huge, but by today's standards it's kind of small.

Most modern cruise ships are bigger. The older QE2 was only a bit larger. About 962 feet long and 60,000 tons (GRT), it was larger than the Titanic. The Titanic was about 880 feet and 46,000 GRT (a measure of volume), and 52,000 tons displacement. Length does not enter into ship size today; it is generally tonnage (GRT).

There are at least two dozen cruise ships that exceed the Titanic, mostly by tonnage. Because modern ships don't need the expansive foredeck for cargo loading, newer ships are bigger, yet shorter. Of the older ships, the Norway, QE2, were larger in all dimensions, and almost any cruise ship built in the last 20 years are far larger than the Titanic.

There is a cruise ship called "The World" which is a huge cruise liner that people live on all year round if they want to. It's definitely biger than "Titanic" and I last saw it in Greenwich, England, cruising the River Thames on it's way somewhere far more exotic no doubt!
