Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings President/CEO Harry Sommer and Fincantieri CEO Pierroberto Folgiero addressed the hand-over festivities.

The 55,500gt Grandeur has 746 lower berths and follows Seven Seas Splendor (2020) and Seven Seas Explorer (2016).

Miami's Studio DADO designed all the interiors, including new-look restaurants. The ship is registered in the Marshall Islands flag and Lloyd's Register is the classification society.
