MSC Cruises has signed a letter of intent with STX France for four new "World Class" ships that will be based on a new, next-generation prototype.
The four new ships will be in addition to the seven new builds that MSC Cruises already has on order with four Meraviglia and Meraviglia-Plus class ships at STX France and three Seaside class ships at Fincantieri – meaning a total of 11 new cruise ships on order between 2017 and 2026 and an investment plan worth a total of $10.2 billion.
The letter of intent includes two firm ship orders and two further options for delivery in 2022, 2024, 2025 and 2026.
MSC Cruises' 11 new cruise ships on order will be across three entirely different prototypes (Meraviglia, Seaside and World Class) and complement the line’s existing three prototypes (Lirica, Musica and Fantasia) in its current fleet.
