The three-ship order represents Princess Cruises' largest and most advanced platform, designed to deliver the destination experience and further elevate the cruise line's iconic status

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., April 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Princess Cruises, a leading global cruise line of Carnival Corporation & plc ((NYSE/LSE: CCL, NYSE:CUK), the world's largest leisure travel company, today announced three new shipbuilding agreements with Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri to build three new cruise ships on a next-generation platform designed to further enhance the line's already world-class vacation experience for its guests. The new builds are slated to be delivered in late 2035, 2038 and 2039, respectively. 

The new vessels will seamlessly blend the most desired and highest-rated experiences and venues Princess Cruises is known for, with completely reimagined outer decks, staterooms and Piazza designs that cater to the brand's global travelers and diverse deployments. These new ships will build upon the award-winning Sphere Class platform and continue to leverage the latest guest-facing and marine technologies. Similar to the highly successful Sun Princess and Star Princess, the Voyager class ships will be dual-fuel powered - primarily by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), the best readily available advanced fuel technology that delivers immediate GHG reductions, significantly reducing air emissions compared with other widely available conventional marine fuels. The new ships, which will be the largest by capacity in the Princess Cruises fleet, will be built at Fincantieri's shipyard in Monfalcone, Italy.
