The new units will be sister ships of the ones already ordered, 4 of which have been delivered and currently operate successfully in the company's fleet. The ships have a gross tonnage of 47,800 tons and accommodate 930 guests in 465 all-veranda cabins, built according to the latest navigation regulations and equipped with the most modern safety systems, including the "Safe return to port" system.
