Just for now I'll say that the Stradivarian is probably about half as long as the Akhenaten but almost equally high. Passenger capacity isn't a great measure in this case because the Akhenaten is designed in part to be a passenger ship, whereas the Stradivarian is not. It should be noted, however, that the Stradivarian can transport a lot of people (a small orchestra, for example) but it doesn't have very many actual staterooms (the auditorium can be converted to sleeping space).

I didn't realise how much larger the Arkenaten is than the Stradivarian class ship until I veiwed the guidebook. However, I base this statement on passenger capacity alone. Will you be stating the size or weight of the ships? Cheers, Paul. Hi John, The guidebook is a great idea.
