Fincantieri is pleased to announce that the Letter of Intent signed with Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NCLH) on April 8, 2024, has been successfully converted into a firm order for the construction of four new cruise ships for the Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) brand.

This significant agreement, subject to financing and other customary conditions, represents a contract valued at over €2 billion.

Comfort, technology, and sustainability

With a gross tonnage of approximately 226,000 tons, these vessels will be the largest ever built for NCL. They will be constructed at Fincantieri’s Monfalcone shipyard, with deliveries scheduled for 2030, 2032, 2034, and 2036.

Each ship will feature over 5,100 berths, accommodating more than 8,300 people, including crew, while incorporating the latest standards in comfort, technology, and sustainability.

New order

This new order strengthens the long-standing partnership between Fincantieri and NCLH.

Fincantieri has previously delivered two ships for the NCL brand—Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva with Norwegian Aqua, the first unit of the Prima Plus class, set for delivery in the coming months. Additionally, three other vessels are currently in various stages of design and construction.
