Cruises, Fincantieri will build an extra-luxury ship for Norwegian Cruise Line
The unit is scheduled for delivery in 2033. It will be the sister ship of "Seven Seas Prestige", currently under construction in the Marghera shipyard and scheduled for delivery in 2026
Fincantieri strengthens its partnership with Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings with a new order to build an ultra-luxury cruise ship for the Regent Seven Seas Cruises brand. The value of the order, subject to financing and other terms and conditions typical of this type of contract, is defined as large.
The unit is scheduled for delivery in 2033. It will be the sister ship of the Seven Seas Prestige, the first of the new Prestige class, currently under construction at the Marghera shipyard and due for delivery in 2026. A second unit of the same class is already planned for 2030. With a gross tonnage of 77 thousand tonnes and a length of 257 metres, the new ship will be able to accommodate 822 passengers, offering one of the highest space-to-guest ratios in the sector.
"The partnership between Fincantieri and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings," reads the note, "is confirmed as one of the most solid and long-lasting in the sector: the Group has already built ten ships for the various Nclh brands, and in confirmation of this consolidated trust, the current order book includes thirteen further vessels, destined to further strengthen the fleet. These new builds involve all the group's brands, Norwegian Cruise Line, Regent Seven Seas Cruises and Oceania Cruises, and represent a further step in shared growth".
"The extension of our strategic partnership with Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, consolidated over time through numerous successful orders, confirms the solidity of our relationship and Fincantieri's role as a reference partner in the ultra-luxury segment represented by Regent Seven Seas Cruises," commented Pierroberto Folgiero, Fincantieri's CEO and general manager.
"This new order represents a new stage in our growth path in the luxury segment, offering our guests an even more exclusive way to experience the world's most luxurious fleet on board," commented Jason Montague, chief luxury officer of Nclh. "It is a confirmation of the growing demand for Regent's top-level offerings and the value of our historic partnership with Fincantieri, founded on quality and on a constant, shared quest for excellence.
