Scandinavian cruise company Norwegian Cruise Line has announced it has ordered a new cruise ship at Germany's Meyer Werft in a deal worth 700 million Euros (USD908 million), due for delivery in October 2015.
The ship, code-named 'Breakaway Plus' and weighing 163,000 tonnes and housing 4,200 passengers, will be larger than the 'Norwegian Breakaway' and the 'Norwegian Getaway' already under construction at the same yard.
Norwegian Cruise Line also maintains the option for another ship, for delivery in spring 2017.
The company says it has export credit financing in place which was arranged by Germany's KfW IPEX-Bank.
