The newest Princess Cruises ship, Discovery Princess, has been floated out by shipbuilder Fincantieri at its shipyard in Monfalcone, Italy.
The 145,000-gross-ton ship is the sixth Royal-class ship to be built for the cruise line by Fincantieri in a partnership which began in 203. All six of the ships have been constructed at the Monfalcone shipyard.
Interior outfitting will now begin ahead of Discovery Princess’s scheduled debut in 2022. Following her delivery, two more ships will be built at the Monfalcone shipyard for Princess Cruises, each of which will accommodate 4,300 guests and be powered by LNG fuel.
