STX France and MSC Cruise have signed a letter of intent for the construction of a new large cruise ship at its St. Nazaire shipyard in France to be delivered in mid – 2012.
The new cruise ship will be a sister ship of 'MSC Fantasia' and 'MSC Splendida', which were delivered from STX France's St. Nazaire shipyard in December 2008 and July 2009, respectively.
The new vessel will be the nineth cruise ship built in St Nazaire for MSC Cruises.
The new cruise ship will have a length of 330 meters and a size of about 140,000GT. The vessel will have 1,751 cabins, which is 100 more cabins than her two sister vessels.
The vessel will have an ultra-modern design with multiple dining and entertainment options – with the highest environmental standards.
