Fincantieri and the US cruise group Carnival Corporation have announced a new order to build two prototype ships for the Princess Cruises brand. The contract confirms a Memorandum of Understanding signed in February.
At 141,000 gross tonnes, the two new vessels, which will have a maximum passenger capacity of 3,600, will be the largest cruise ships ever built by Fincantieri and the flagships of Princess Cruises fleet.
Scheduled for delivery in spring 2013 and 2014, these ships, as prototypes, will be two of the most exclusive and innovative in the world.
