Norwegian Cruise Line buys two new ships
Norwegian Cruise Line has confirmed it will build two new Breakaway-Plus class ships for delivery in the second quarter of 2018 and the fourth quarter 2019.
Each ship will carry 4,200 passengers and will be 164,600 gross tonnes.
"Norwegian Breakaway and Norwegian Getaway have proven themselves as industry game-changers and are extremely popular with our guests," said chief executive officer Kevin Sheehan.
"It was only natural that we build on their success with this new ship order that further solidifies our long-term growth strategy."
The contract price for both ships, which are being built by German shipyard Meyer Werft, is approximately €1.6 billion. The Company has export credit financing in place for each ship, arranged and underwritten by KfW IPEX-Bank GmbH of Germany.
"We are thrilled that Norwegian Cruise Line has the continued confidence in MEYER WERFT to expand their fleet," said Bernard Meyer, managing partner of MEYER WERFT. "We are very proud of our longstanding relationship with Norwegian."
