Carnival Corporation has confirmed an agreement for the construction of a new 135,000-ton vessel for its Carnival Cruise Lines brand and a new 99,000-ton ship for its Holland America Line brand.
The agreement has been signed with Italian Shipbuilder, Fincantieri, for the construction of the 4,000 passenger Carnival ship which is scheduled for delivery in the winter of 2016. The Holland America line ship which will carry 2,660 passengers is due for delivery in autumn 2015
“Today’s order continues the company's strategy of introducing two to three ships per year across the corporation’s 10 brands. We have strategically timed the introduction of these new ships to allow ample time for those brands to further grow their passenger base and absorb the new capacity while minimizing revenue yield dilution in the remainder of their existing fleets,” said Micky Arison, chairman and CEO of Carnival Corporation & plc.
We are expecting both vessels to be entirely new classes of ships for both cruise brands.
Giuseppe Bono, CEO of Fincantieri, said, "These additional orders bring the total number of ships we have built for Carnival Corporation & plc to 61 and confirm Fincantieri's world leadership in the cruise ship sector even at a time of slowing demand." Bono added, "We view these orders as a very positive development for the Italian economy and the global cruise industry."
