Fincantieri says that they \u201cwill embody the highest standards of technological innovation, comfort, and will include environmental sustainability features, reflecting the shared commitment of both groups to responsible and forward-looking growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis milestone reflects the core elements of our strategy, as per our 2026\u20132030 Industrial Plan: leadership, innovation, and the capability to transform the global shipbuilding industry,\u201d said Pierroberto Folgiero, CEO and managing director of Fincantieri. \u201cThese next\u2011generation ships will bring together advanced technology, design excellence, a strong focus on sustainability, energy efficiency and passenger experience, and the industrial strength of our shipyards, reaffirming Fincantieri\u2019s role at the forefront of cruise innovation.\u201dThis milestone reflects the core elements of our strategy, as per our 2026\u20132030 Industrial Plan: leadership, innovation, and the capability to transform the global shipbuilding industry,\u201d said Pierroberto Folgiero, CEO and managing director of Fincantieri. \u201cThese next\u2011generation ships will bring together advanced technology, design excellence, a strong focus on sustainability, energy efficiency and passenger experience, and the industrial strength of our shipyards, reaffirming Fincantieri\u2019s role at the forefront of cruise innovation..\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The new ship for Norwegian Cruise Line will have a gross tonnage of approximately 227,000 tons and will have over 5,000 berths. The vessel for Regent Seven Seas Cruises will have a gross tonnage of 77,000 tons and around 822 berths, reflecting the brand\u2019s positioning in the ultra\u2011luxury segment. The ship for Oceania Cruises will feature a gross tonnage of 86,000 tons and approximately 1,390 berths, consistent with the brand\u2019s focus.<\/p>\n<p>NCLH says the order supports its long-term growth pipeline and competitive position with modest initial capital outlays, allowing it to remain focused on strengthening the balance sheet and reducing leverage. It says that the agreement is not expected to have a material impact on near-term leverage or cashflow, as pre-delivery payment obligations are immaterial until the ship is delivered. Consistent with past practice, the company expects to utilize <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sace.it\/en\/about-us\">Export Credit Agency<\/a> financing to fund the majority of the vessels\u2019 cost upon delivery.<\/p>\n<p>Following this agreement, NCLH now has a total of 17 newbuilds on order; with Norwegian Cruise Line totaling eight newbuilds through 2037, five newbuilds for Oceania Cruises to be delivered through 2037 and four newbuilds to be delivered through 2036 for Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
