Dutch owner Oceanwide Expeditions is keen to order two more cruiseships at the Brodosplit shipyard in Croatia.
Speaking at the keel-laying ceremony for its second specialist polar vessel, the company's owner Wijnand Van Gessel said: "I believe in the long-term cooperation with Brodosplit and in the construction of two more new ships."
The 6,300-gt, 198-passenger vessel Janssonius is now due in August 2021, a couple of months earlier than originally expected.
