NCL Holdings orders another three ships – a total of 17 are on the way

• Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings has ordered three more ships across its cruise lines.
• In total, NCL, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas have 17 new ships on the way from now until 2037.
• More ships overall could translate to more ships on Aussie shores.

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, who own Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises, have added an order for another three ships. The new order involves one new ship for each line.

The ships will arrive between 2036 and 207 and will be built in Fincantieri shipyard in Italy.

This is particularly significant because across the three cruise lines, they already have a significant number of new ships on the way, and this latest move appears to signal that they don’t plan on slowing down their growth.

From now until 2037, there are 17 new ships set to enter service across the three cruise lines fleets, including eight ships for NCL, five ships for Oceania and four for Regent Seven Seas.

Australia is already seeing some of the benefits of this increased fleet size, with Seven Seas Navigator coming for a winter season in Australia. More ships across the NCL brands could continue to mean more sailings in Australia, with NCL currently only sailing a limited range of itineraries on Aussie shores.

John W. Chidsey, President and Chief Executive Officer of NCLH said: “Together with Fincantieri, a trusted partner for decades, we continue to advance a disciplined approach to fleet growth that builds on the strength of our brands, defines the future of cruising and elevates the guest experience for years to come.

“This agreement secures access to valuable shipyard capacity through the end of 2037, supporting our long-term growth while maintaining financial discipline and driving sustainable shareholder value.”
