How far does a cruise ship travel in an hour? (in miles)?

Question

carnival cruise ship in particular..

Answer 1

like 12 to 14 mph

Answer 2

Cruise ships usually top around around 20 knots which means that they sail about 22 statute miles per hour.

Because fuel is expensive, ships will not travel faster than they need to reach their destination at the desired time. If the cruise ship is travelling between two close ports, overnight, it will not travel as fast as if it is on a longer leg of its voyage.

Answer 3

The Queen Mary 2 will travel at 30 knots (34.5 mph) while the Freedom of the Seas will travel at 21.6 knots (24.8 mph).

Carnival ships have an average top speed of 21 - 22 knots (24.15 - 25.3 mph)

A cruise ship will only go as fast as necessary to reach the next port of call on time. Normally this could be between 10 knots (11.5 mph) and 18 knots (20 mph) depending on distance and time.

Cruise ships will very rarely go at top speed because of the amount of fuel required to attain and maintain top speed.
