Virgin Voyages Marks Steel Cutting of Fuel-Efficient First Ship
Virgin Voyages has announced a steel cutting ceremony for its fuel-efficient first cruise ship on Wednesday at Fincantieri - Cantieri Navali Italiani S.p.A. (Fincantieri) shipyard in Genoa, Italy.
As Ship & Bunker has reported, the vessel comes under a €2 billion ($2.08 billion) order for three cruise ships, all of which are set to feature energy recovery to reduce overall environmental impact.
"These ships will stand out for original design and craftsmanship," Fincantieri has previously said.
"They will include some highly innovative ideas and design solutions, notably for energy recovery, reducing the overall environmental impact."
The three units have been said to be slated for delivery scheduled in 2020, 2021, and 2022, respectively.
