Norwegian Cruise Line has confirmed it will add two more Leonardo Class ships to its fleet.
The fifth and sixth ships in this class are due to be delivered in 2026 and 2027.

Accommodating around 3,300 guests, this next generation class of ships will feature a host of inventive designs, said the cruise line.
"Following the Breakaway Plus Class, the most successful class in our company’s history, the highly anticipated Leonardo Class will fuel future growth with exciting and innovative offerings that will meaningfully drive demand from new and loyal returning guests alike," said Andy Stuart, president and chief executive officer.
