Keel laying in Monfalcone of Star Princess
Second LNG-powered cruise ship built for Princess Cruises
The keel laying of the Star Princess took place in Monfalcone today. She is the second Sphere Class vessel for Princess Cruises, a brand within Carnival Corporation; the first is Sun Princess.
Both cruise ships are dual-fuel, primarily powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG), the cleanest marine fuel currently available on a large scale on the market.
Star Princess will accommodate 4,300 guests and, like Sun Princess, is based on a next-generation platform design. Sun Princess will be delivered in 1Q 2024 while Star Princess in 2025.
