Do you and you're good to go today's topic on this show to get to that part of the show? I was mentioning today about the luxury cruise line business headline today that within ten years there will be 73 dedicated ships that are going to be basically six star and up type quality or five and a half star like we're talking the really good stuff. The number. The number one cruise line in the high-end market for volume is Viking ocean cruises. Viking ocean cruises right now has five ships at sea a sixth being delivered very shortly, with about how many coming more beyond that eighteen will be in operation in ten years by Viking. Each ship excuse me each ship holds nine hundred and thirty passengers, and they are right now if they had forty six hundred and fifty cheers everybody traveling as Bruce monk, for you guys hello it all right now they have five ships for forty six hundred and fifty Beds approximately and they're going to go to eighteen ships within the next ten years. That'S more than triple so they're gon na be pushing seventeen eighteen thousand births at sea, unbelievable amounts of volume they own right. Now, twenty six percent of the market. They are leading ahead of established Cruise Lines, who've been around for years and years and years like silver sea, which has just been acquired by Royal Caribbean Regent, which is owned by Norwegian Norwegian cruise lines, Seabourn, which is owned by Carnival and also they're they're way. Ahead of Crystal Cruises and Pune now poor, non Pio and AMT is the spelling of that girl's life from France. They are also building out quickly, a quite a number of ships, but the poni ships hold about 200 or so passengers, as opposed to nine hundred and some-odd for viking ocean line, the Viking company. They were known up until five years ago. They were known only as a river cruise company, they had, they had their ships on the rivers in Europe and then in China, and they were offering these. You know seven-day ten-day 14-day river cruises, top dollar three hundred four hundred five hundred a night to be on these boats per person, but the reviews are just unbelievable because it's all-inclusive on the on the river cruises, with alcohol, at lunch and dinner with shore excursions daily. A number of their boats come with bicycles, so you can bike for half a day or an hour or two and then catch up to the ship. You know down the river a couple hours and get back on it. I mean it's just unbelievable, so when they announced they were going into the ocean cruising business, there was a little bit of skepticism, but those in the know those passengers who knew how Viking operates their business. They were saying to themselves man if these guys can run an ocean cruise the way they run a river cruise, I'm in and I'll tell ya.
