A second ship in the same class is already scheduled for delivery in 2030.

With a gross tonnage of 77,000 and a length of 257 metres, the new unit will host 822 passengers, offering one of the highest guest-to-space ratios in the industry.

Fincantieri has already delivered ten ships across NCLH’s various brands, and as a testament to this established trust, the current order book includes 13 additional vessels, set to further strengthen the fleet. These newbuilds include all of the company’s brands – Norwegian Cruise Line, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, and Oceania Cruises.

“Our long-term strategic expansion with Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd., established over the past years through multiple successful orders, continues to strengthen our collaboration, especially within the ultra-luxury segment represented by Regent Seven Seas Cruises”, commented Pierroberto Folgiero, CEO and Managing Director of Fincantieri. “This latest contract confirms the trust NCLH places in Fincantieri’s expertise to deliver innovative, sustainable, and exquisitely crafted ships that meet the evolving aspirations of the luxury cruise market. As the industry embraces new challenges and opportunities, including stronger environmental commitments and enhanced guest experiences, Fincantieri remains fully dedicated to supporting our clients’ growth strategies and the future of cruising worldwide.”

“This newbuild order continues our measured, strategic expansion within the luxury space, providing guests with yet another way to experience the unrivaled aboard The World’s Most Luxurious Fleet,” said Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer at Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. “It reflects our confidence in the growing demand for Regent’s best-in-class offering and reaffirms our long-standing partnership with Fincantieri, one rooted in craftsmanship and shared pursuit of perfection.”
