Foreign makers expect to benefit from Detroit's new emphasis on smallness; they hope to increase...
...service. Two 35,000-ton luxury ships will each have accommodations for 1,600 passengers, cruise at 26.5 knots to Italy in seven days, one day faster than the line's 33,500-ton Leonardo da Vinci, which will be put into service next summer on the transatlantic run...
