Fincantieri-owned Vard Holdings has clinched the contract to build Hapag-Lloyd Cruises' new vessel.
The "luxury" expedition ship is the third in the shipping company's Hanseatic series - the first two of which Vard is also constructing.
No price has been revealed for the latest 16,000-gt addition, but it will be handed over in the second quarter of 2021 from Vard Langsten in Norway.
