Cunard to build new ship
Cunard has announced a new ship, which will join the fleet in 2022.
The 3,000-capacity ship will be built at the Fincantieri shipyard in Italy and will be the fourth in the fleet, alongside Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth.
Arnold Donald, CEO of Carnival Corporation, said: "We are very pleased to announce a fourth ship for our immensely popular Cunard brand, which is also one of the most legendary brands in the entire vacation industry."
Cunard senior vice president Simon Palethorpe added: "We have only recently marked the 50th anniversary of one of Cunard’s much loved ocean liners, the legendary QE2.
"What better way to celebrate her important role in Cunard’s past than by announcing our commitment to Cunard’s future with the commissioning of a new ship. Cunard offers unrivalled luxury ocean experiences and the new ship firmly underpins our plans to continue our growth across international markets."
