| Princess’ 4th Royal

STEEL has been cut at Fincantieri’s shipyard in Monfalcone for a yet-to-be-named Princess Cruises ship.

The vessel is due to be delivered at the end of 2019 and will be the fourth Royal class ship for the line.

Fincantieri said in a statement the 4,250-passenger ship would represent “a new technological benchmark in Europe and worldwide for its innovative layout, the outstanding performances and the top quality of its state-of-the-art technology”.
