Fincantieri to build third Crystal ocean ship, extending Italian newbuild pipeline to 2034 — Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri will build a third new ocean ship for Crystal Cruises, entering service in May 2034, following Crystal Grace in 2028 and a second unnamed ship in 2031. All three 62,000gt vessels will carry 650 guests at double occupancy with all-veranda suites, solo-traveler cabins and new accommodation designed around evolving guest preferences. The Crystal brand is owned by A&K Travel Group.
Explora Journeys names luxury LNG ship Explora III in Barcelona — MSC Group's luxury brand Explora Journeys officially named its third ship, Explora III, at a ceremony in Barcelona ahead of its maiden voyage. The Fincantieri-built, LNG-powered vessel offers all-suite accommodation for roughly 900 guests and a high space-to-guest ratio. It joins an expanding Mediterranean-focused luxury fleet.
Port Tampa Bay starts its first new cruise terminal in 25 years — Port Tampa Bay has begun site work on a fourth cruise terminal at the former Metroport site, its first new terminal in 25 years, with design by HDR and BEA Architects. The terminal is expected to add more than 200 annual calls, help the port reach two million cruise passengers a year and generate an estimated 100 million dollars in additional annual economic impact. Construction is targeted for completion by 2029.
Silverstream passes 160 vessel installs of air lubrication, 14 cruise ships live — Silverstream has surpassed 160 total installations of its air lubrication system, with 14 cruise ships now in service using the technology and five more under construction. The system, which cuts hull friction with microbubbles, has logged more than 180,000 operating hours on cruise vessels, including P&O Cruises' Arvia. CEO Noah Silberschmidt framed the growth as owners hedging against rising fuel costs.
