The three new class ships will be built at the Sestri Ponente (Genoa) shipyard at 110,000 gross tons. The ships will be able to carry 2,800 guests at 278 meters long and 38 wide. 1,100 crew members will be working onboard. So far, that’s all we know about the upcoming vessels. We are still waiting to know the first ships name, features and of course the first glimpse at its renderings. Hopefully, we’ll get some of our questions answered in the live broadcast.
