Royal Caribbean has opted to exercise an option to build a second Sunshine-class cruise ship, that will be delivered in Spring 2015.
Royal Caribbean's decision to build the second of the yet-to-be-seen class of ships signals the company feels good about the project. The ship will be built by German shipbuilder Meyer Werft on substantially the same terms as its first Sunshine ship.
Royal Caribbean Chairman Richard Fain commented on the decision, "This confirms our continued confidence in the success of this new generation of ships and our strong conviction about the Royal Caribbean International brand."
Like the first ship Royal Caribbean ordered (and is still under construction), the second ship will be 158,000 gross registered tonnes and accommodate 4,100 guests.
