Carnival Corp. Signs Agreement for Two New Princess Ships |
|||||||
Carnival Corporation & plc, owners of the Princess Cruises brand has announced that they have signed a memorandum of agreement with Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri to build two new ships for Princess Cruises. These sister ships are expected to have a 3,600-passenger capacity, and should be around 139,000-tons each (which will make them the  largest Princess cruise ships ever). Princess plans to debut one ship in 2013, followed by the second in 2014. These ships will have a total cost of around euro 155,000 per lower berth, which comes to a little over $762,500,000 per ship based on the current exchange rates to U.S. Dollars.The agreement is subject to the signing of a definitive contract, financing and other closing conditions. This means that the building of these ships is not definite yet. However, it is a major move for Carnival Corporation & plc, as they have not been ordering new ships to be built for some time now. Additional details concerning these yet-to-be-named ships will be released at a later date. |
