Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. said its fleet of ships powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG) will expand to three by 2025 with a new order for another Icon-class ship.
Royal’s first two LNG-powered Icon ships are scheduled for arrival in 2022 and 2024. The Meyer Turku yard in Finland is building all three.
The order for the third ship is subject to financing. RCCL did not put a value on the ship.
The previous ships were announced at 200,000 gross tons with a capacity for 5,000 passengers.
In addition to being powered by LNG, the Icon ships will serve as a test platform for evolving fuel cell power technology being developed by Swedish engineering giant ABB.
