Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. has revealed its vision for the future with an upgraded fleet and enhancements to its private island development.
The plan includes next-generation vessels for Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises, and Regent Seven Seas Cruises to be built by Fincantieri.
There will be a total of eight state-of-the-art vessels, representing nearly 25,000 additional berths, with new classes of ships for each brand. The decade-long strategy enhances its product offering, guest experiences, and operational infrastructure, supporting the cruise line's sustained leadership in delivering innovative cruise vacations.
Ships are scheduled for delivery between 2026 and 2036 and, following the delivery of four Prima-Plus class ships from 2025 through 2028, Norwegian Cruise Line is expected to take delivery of four approximately 200,000-gross-ton ships, each with a capacity of nearly 5,000 guests, in 2030, 2032, 2034 and 2036.
Oceania Cruises is scheduled to take delivery of two 86,000-gross-ton ships, each with a capacity of 1,450 guests in 2027 and 2029.
Regent Seven Seas Cruises is scheduled to take delivery of two 77,000-gross-ton ships, each with a capacity of 850 guests, in 2026 and 2029.
Details on the ship experience, including amenities, staterooms, dining, recreational, efficiency, sustainability and other features will be announced in the coming months.
"This strategic new-ship order across all three of our award-winning brands provides for the steady introduction of cutting-edge vessels into our fleet and solidifies our long-term growth. It also allows us to significantly leverage our operating scale, strengthen our commitment to innovation and enhance our ability to offer our guests new products and experiences, all while providing opportunities to enhance the efficiency of our fleet,” said Harry Sommer, president and chief executive officer of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. “We are likewise excited with the addition of a new pier at Great Stirrup Cay to support our increased capacity in the Caribbean and multiple ships to call on the island, enhancing our guest experience and bringing seamless and reliable access to our private island year-round.”
The new plans also call for infrastructure enhancements for Great Stirrup Cay.
