FORT LAUDERDALE — Princess Cruises has announced an order for three new next-generation cruise ships, marking a major fleet expansion and the introduction of its new Voyager Class platform.

The ships will be built by Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri, with deliveries scheduled for 2035, 2038 and 2039. Once complete, they will be the largest vessels in the cruise line’s fleet by capacity.

The Voyager Class ships will build on the success of Princess Cruises’ Sphere Class vessels, including Sun Princess and Star Princess, while introducing redesigned outdoor spaces, staterooms and the brand’s signature Piazza.

“We have been leveraging extensive customer and agent research to strike the right balance between evolving our proven winners and introducing new concepts and partnerships grounded in what matters to our current and future guests,” said Gus Antorcha, President, Princess Cruises. “From exceptional dining and inviting pool environments to elevated entertainment and beautifully reimagined spaces throughout the ship, we are leaving no area untouched as we thoughtfully evolve the Princess experience.”

Each vessel will measure approximately 183,000 gross tons and accommodate around 4,700 guests. The ships will be dual-fuel powered, primarily using liquefied natural gas, aligning with broader efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve environmental performance.

The order forms part of parent company Carnival Corporation’s ongoing fleet enhancement strategy. With these three vessels, the company will expand its LNG-powered fleet to 21 ships.

Carnival Corporation also has seven additional ships on order, scheduled for delivery between 2027 and 2033.
