Orderbook with 12 New Ships
January 14, 2021

The largest single expansion planned in the cruise industry comes

from MSC Cruises, which has 12 ships on order from 2021
through 2027.

The fastest-expanding cruise line in the world has $11.3 billion

invested in 12 new ships, adding approximately 44,496 berths to
the company's fleet.
Of note, the MSC World Europa and her three sisters will be
powered by clean-burning LNG, as will another Meraviglia-class
vessel, due to debut in 2023.

MSC is also launching a luxury brand, with ships expected to be

delivered annually starting in 2023.
