Princess Cruises has announced the order of three new Voyager Class ships, marking its largest and most advanced vessels to date. The cruise line, part of Carnival Corporation, has entered into agreements with Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri for the construction of these ships, set for delivery in late 2035, 2038, and 2039.
The new ships will feature a guest capacity of approximately 4,700 and weigh 183,000 gross tonnes. They will incorporate reimagined outer decks, staterooms, and Piazza designs, enhancing the holiday experience for global travellers. These vessels will build upon the award-winning Sphere Class platform, integrating the latest guest-facing and marine technologies.
Powered primarily by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), the Voyager Class ships will be the largest by capacity in the Princess Cruises fleet. LNG is recognised for its ability to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional marine fuels. The ships will be constructed at Fincantieri's shipyard in Monfalcone, Italy.
Gus Antorcha, President of Princess Cruises, stated, "The Voyager class will delight both our loyal guests and attract the next generation of Princess guests." He emphasised the focus on evolving proven concepts and introducing new partnerships to enhance the guest experience.
Pierroberto Folgiero, CEO and Managing Director of Fincantieri, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, highlighting the sustainable, next-generation shipbuilding expertise that Fincantieri will bring to the project.
These new ships are part of Carnival Corporation's strategy to enhance its fleet and stimulate demand in the growing cruise market
