Cruiseship giant Carnival« Corp denies a report that it has options at Finnish shipbuilder Meyer Turku for three more cruiseships of approximately 180,000 gt.
Chief communications officer Roger Frizzell says it still has just four firm newbuildings on order at the yard.
A spokesman for Meyer Turku was non-committal. "We have not confirmed or denied it.”
The options, which would likely be for delivery in the period 2024-2026, are claimed to be attached to an earlier order involving Miami-based Carnival Corp’s flagship brand, Carnival Cruise Line, for two sisterships due in 2020 and 2022.
