MSC SHIP OPTIONS – 7 NEWBUILDS BY 2022
JAN 14 2015
With four new ships on order through 2019, MSC Cruises may be intending to pick up three options between STX France and Fincantieri, taking them through 2022.
When MSC’s double-order at Fincantieri was placed in 2014, the Italian cruise line said it had an option for one additional ship. Prior to that, MSC signed with STX France for two ships, plus an option of two more.
In today’s MSC Sinfonia drydock release, MSC said:
MSC Cruises currently carries roughly 40,000 guests per day, but by 2022 will double its capacity to 80,000 guests a day – 3.4 million per year – once the Renaissance Program is completed and the last of seven planned ships is delivered.
