(Alliance News) - Fincantieri Spa announced Thursday that the launching ceremony for "Seven Seas Grandeur," the third luxury cruise ship it will build for shipowner Regent Seven Seas Cruises, a luxury brand of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. group, was held at its Ancona shipyard. It is scheduled for delivery in November 2023.

Like the first two units of its class, "Seven Seas Grandeur" will have 55,500 gross tons and will be able to accommodate only 746 passengers on board, with a staff-to-guest ratio among the highest in the industry. It will also be built adopting the most advanced environmental protection technologies. The outfitting will be particularly sophisticated, with a strong focus on the on-board experience for passengers.

Fincantieri on Thursday closed in the green by 1.6 percent at EUR0.62 per share.
