The vessel will be delivered at the end of 2026 – almost a year later than originally anticipated.
Bigger than its sister ship
At 142,000gt, the Vista-class ship will be larger than the line’s first newbuild – the 135,500gt Adora Magic City, which launched on Jan. 1 from Shanghai Wusongkou International Cruise Port, sailing to Jeju in South Korea, and Fukuoka and Nagasaki in Japan.
The number of lower berths on the so far unnamed ship is 4,288, versus 4,250 on its sister ship.
Production update
H1509, as it is today known, has been under design and construction at Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding since August 2022, and was expected to launch in autumn 2025. So far, it is estimated that the shipyard has finished 77% of the workload for detailed design and 58% of the production design.
