Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings has placed an order for four new 3,300-passenger ships.
Fincantieri S.P.A. will construct the next generation ships for Norwegian Cruise Line.
One ship will be delivered each year between 2022-2025 and there is an option for two more ships in 2026 and 2027.
The four 140,000 gross ton ships will each cost around $850 million.
"This new class of ships will continue Norwegian Cruise Line brand’s legacy of introducing meaningful innovation to the cruise industry. This order continues to highlight our disciplined newbuild program, extends our growth trajectory well into the future, enhances our already attractive earnings profile and drives expected long-term returns for our shareholders," NCLH CEO Frank Del Rio said in a statement
Further updates will be released in the near future but the line says they will be based on a smaller version of the Breakaway-Plus Class ship design.
