 Carnival
Corporation has committed to build new cruise ships for two of its cruise lines:
Holland America Line and Carnival Cruise Line.
The two as-yet-unnamed ships will be built at Fincantieri shipyard in Monfalcone,
Italy, and both are set for delivery in 2018.
Carnival Cruise Line's new 3,954-passenger Vista-class ship will launch in March
2018, and will be a sister ship to Carnival Vista, according to a press release
from the line. The 133,500-ton Vista is scheduled for launch in spring 2016.
Holland America's ship will be the second Pinnacle-class ship, a new class of
vessels that will debut with the launch of the 2,650-passenger
Konigsdam in February
2016. The second ship is slated for delivery in November 2018.
Arnold Donald, President & CEO of Carnival Corporation, said: "These beautiful
new ships on order from Fincantieri signify our ongoing commitment to provide
the best possible guest experience across our industry-leading brands. New ships
with the latest in features, accommodations and innovations really bring the
modern cruise experience to life and will help us continue to grow new demand
for cruising."
Carnival has added more than 30 new ships to its fleet since 2007 and has
another 10 ships slated for delivery between 2015 and 2018. |
