Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: NCLH), a leading global cruise company operating Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises, and Regent Seven Seas Cruises, has announced it has confirmed a new build order with Fincantieri to construct a third vessel in the Prestige-Class series for its ultra-luxury brand, Regent Seven Seas Cruises. The ship is scheduled for delivery in 2033, marking the continued expansion of the company’s growth strategy in the luxury segment.
Following the debut of the highly anticipated Seven Seas Prestige™ in 2026 and a second Prestige Class ship in 2030, the third vessel will build upon the hallmark design and elevated guest experience that has defined the brand’s legacy in all-inclusive, unrivaled cruising.
“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.”
“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.”
Regent’s Prestige-Class ships begin a new legacy in ultra-luxury travel, marking Regent’s first new ship class in 10 years, following the tremendous success of the line’s Explorer-Class vessels. Seven Seas Prestige will be 40 percent larger than previous Regent ships yet accommodates only 10 percent more guests, delivering truly Unrivaled Space at Sea. At 77,000 tons and carrying just 822 guests with 630 dedicated crew members, the ship offers one of the highest space-to-guest and crew-to-guest ratios in the cruise industry. Beautifully appointed all-balcony suites usher in a new era of ultra-luxury accommodation with 12 distinctive categories, including four all-new suite types, including the largest all-inclusive, ultra luxury cruise ship suite in history: the Skyview Regent Suite, and two-level Skyview and Grand Loft Suites. Elegant public spaces are thoughtfully designed from the sophisticated, light-filled Starlight Atrium to the art-inspired Galileo’s Bar. Offering Regent guests the chance to indulge in Epicurean Perfection like never before, Seven Seas Prestige provides a curated culinary journey across 11 dining experiences with a further brand-new dining venue being revealed at a later date. These include Azure, a new mezze-style Mediterranean concept, and signature favorites like Chartreuse, Prime 7, and Pacific Rim.
