The new vessel will follow the launch of the Minerva vessel, scheduled for 2021, and the sister vessel, yet to be named, in 2022. The third Swan Hellenic newbuild will debut at the end of 2022.

“The new order is significant for Helsinki Shipyard, as it shows our customers’ confidence in our operations and is also a strong signal of the long-term nature of our operations. In these times in the world, this is a very good signal, not only for Helsinki Shipyard but also for the Helsinki maritime industry and the whole country’s maritime cluster," said Carl-Gustaf Rotkirch, the shipyard’s CEO.

The third vessel will hold 192 guests in 96 rooms, making it larger than the first two vessels, with a capacity of 152 guests.
