With delivery expected in 2033 and as a sister ship to the Seven Seas Prestige, Fincantieri will build for Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH) a new order for an ultra-luxury cruise ship for the Regent Seven Seas Cruises brand.
The Seven Seas Prestige is the first of the new Prestige class, currently under construction at the Marghera shipyard and whose delivery is expected in 2026. A second unit of the same type is already planned for 2030.
With a gross tonnage of 77,000 tons and a length of 257 meters, the new ship will have a capacity for 822 passengers, offering one of the highest space ratios per passenger in the industry. Its design combines elegance and sophistication with the most advanced environmental technologies, confirming the Group’s constant commitment to sustainable innovation.
Fincantieri has already built 10 ships for the various brands of NCLH and the current order portfolio includes 13 additional vessels spanning all the holding’s brands, Norwegian Cruise Line, Regent Seven Seas Cruises and Oceania Cruises.
“The expansion of the strategic collaboration with Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd., consolidated over time thanks to numerous successful orders, confirms the solidity of our relationship and the role of Fincantieri as a reference partner in the ultra-luxury segment represented by Regent Seven Seas Cruises,” commented Pierroberto Folgiero, CEO and Managing Director of Fincantieri.
“This new order demonstrates the confidence this shipowner places in our ability to design and build innovative, sustainable and handcrafted ships, in line with the evolution of the luxury cruise market. Faced with new challenges and opportunities imposed by the market, from the growing commitment to sustainability to the enhancement of the passenger experience, Fincantieri will continue to support its clients in their growth strategies and in the development of the future of cruising globally,” added Folgiero.
“This new order represents a new milestone in our growth trajectory in the luxury segment, offering our guests an even more exclusive way to experience the world’s most luxurious fleet. It confirms the growing demand for Regent’s world-class offering and the value of our historic partnership with Fincantieri, based on quality and the constant, shared pursuit of excellence,” said Jason Montague, President of the Luxury Division of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd.
