Fincantieri contracted to build ultra-luxury ship for Seabourn
Fincantieri, a world leader in cruise ship construction, and Seabourn, the ultra-luxury brand of Carnival Corporation, the world’s leading cruise operator, have announced today the signing of a contract for the construction of an ultra-luxury ship. The order follows last October's letter of intent between the two companies, the shipbuilder said Tuesday in a press release.
The ship, scheduled for delivery in the second half of 2016, features best safety and fuel efficiency characteristics. The all-suite ship will be approximately 40,350 gross tons, 210 metres long and 28 metres wide and will be able to reach a cruising speed of 18.6 knots. It will carry up to 604 guests, accommodated in 302 spacious suites, all with a private balcony.
