The details – from Carnival Corp pr

A  memorandum of agreement was signed with Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri to build a 2,660-pax ship for Holland America Line for 2015 & a 4,000-pax ship for Carnival Cruise Lines for 2016. 

“Today’s order continues the company’s strategy of introducing two to three ships per year across the corporation’s 10 brands,” said Carnival Chairman and CEO Micky Arison. “We have strategically timed the introduction of these new ships to allow ample time for those brands to further grow their passenger base and absorb the new capacity while minimizing revenue yield dilution in the remainder of their existing fleets.”
