MEYER WERFT and Carnival Corporation have reached an agreement to build another modern cruise ship for Carnival Cruise Line for delivery in 2028. Carnival Corporation ordered an Excel-class cruise ship from MEYER WERFT in mid-February 2024. The order is subject to financing, which is expected to be finalised in the course of the year.

Since 2018 MEYER WERFT and MEYER TURKU have built nine cruise ships with LNG propulsion for four cruise lines in Carnival Corporation's portfolio on a joint technical platform. The two new ships that have now been ships will also be built on this platform and, with a length of around 344 metres and a size of approximately 180,000 GT, will offer space for more than 6,400 guests.
