Add article description

Cruise lines have opted to increase capacity by stretching their current ships. Known as lengthening, the process of enlarging a cruise ship usually includes cutting the ship in half and adding a new midsection, adding more cabins and public areas.[1] The first modern cruise ship to be stretched was Royal Caribbean Line's Song of Norway in 1977.[2]
