Cunard orders another Queen

Carnival Corporation and Fincantieri have signed a memorandum of agreement (MoA) for the construction of a next-generation cruise ship for Carnival’s luxury brand Cunard.

The ship will be built at the Monfalcone yard and join Cunard’s fleet in 2022. The 113,000-tonne ship will carry 3,000 guests and be the 249th to fly the Cunard flag, the first since 2010 when Fincantieri delivered the Queen Elizabeth, three years after the Queen Victoria was built in 2007.
