TRIESTE –<\/strong> \u201cNorwegian Aura\u201d, a new cruise ship built by Fincantieri<\/a> for Norwegian Cruise Line, has been launched in Monfalcone<\/strong>, with delivery scheduled for spring 2027.<\/p>\n

The ceremony marks the transition to the final phase of outfitting and interior finishing. Andrea Marongiu, Senior Director, Newbuilding Project Owner at Norwegian Cruise Line, and Cristiano Bazzara, director of the Monfalcone shipyard, attended the event. Students from local technical institutes and ITS schools also took part, as part of the collaboration activities between the shipbuilding group and the training system<\/strong>, aimed at developing specialist skills and encouraging young people to enter the naval engineering sector.<\/p>\n

With a gross tonnage of around 170,000 and a length of 344 metres, \u201cNorwegian Aura\u201d is around 10% larger than the previous Prima Plus-class units,<\/strong> \u201cNorwegian Aqua\u201d and \u201cNorwegian Luna\u201d. It is also the first Norwegian Cruise Line ship to be built at the Monfalcone yard. The ship has 1,976 cabins and can accommodate around 3,880 passengers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Its main features include a water park with more slides than any other ship in the NCL fleet, a suspended adventure course, a climbing wall and Ocean Boulevard, a 360-degree outdoor promenade.<\/p>\n

The project is part of the collaboration between Fincantieri and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, strengthened by a recent order for three new ships<\/strong>, one for each of the group\u2019s brands: NCL, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises. The overall portfolio therefore rises to 16 units, with deliveries scheduled through to 2037.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Monfalcone shipyard confirms its role as one of the group\u2019s main hubs for cruise ship construction. It has already delivered more than 40 units and employs an average of around 6,500 workers, within a supply chain involving more than 23,000 workers overall.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
