According to wikipedia modern cruise ships are primarily build by the following three European and one Asian ship yards:
The construction market for cruise ships is dominated by three European companies and one Asian company:
- STX Europe of Norway with two shipyards:
- STX Europe (the former Aker Yards/Kvaerner Masa-Yards/Wärtsilä, Valmet and Rauma Shipyards) in Finland.
- Aker Yards France (Chantiers de l'Atlantique) in France.
- Fincantieri of Italy.
- Meyer Werft of Germany.
- Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of Japan.
A large number of cruise ships have been built by other shipyards, but no other individual yard has reached the large numbers of built ships achieved by the four above. A handful of old ocean liners also remain in service as cruise ships. Despite the dominance of United States-based cruise ship operators and American clients in the industry, only one ship built in the United States, The Emerald, is still sailing.[citation needed]

Are cruise ships built for the transatlantic run?
The Queen Mary 2 was built for transatlantic crossings, but much smaller ships can make the crossing easily. In 1995, I crossed the Atlantic from New York to the Azores on the Royal Princess (which was not the same ship as the current Royal Princess), which was about one fourth the size of the QM2. Just about any seaworthy passenger ship can navigate the Atlantic safely, if not comfortably.
