Miami-headquartered cruise line Regent Seven Seas Cruises, a brand of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, has received a new cruise ship Seven Seas Explorer from Italian shipyard Fincantieri.

The 55,200 gross ton vessel was constructed at Fincantieri's shipyard in Sestri Ponente, Genoa.

Seven Seas Explorer, the flagship of the company's fleet, features a length of 223 meters and is able to accommodate 750 passengers on board in 377 suites.

In March, Regent Seven Seas Cruises placed an order at Fincantieri to construct a sister ship to Seven Seas Explorer.

The new vessel, ordered under a contract price of EUR422m(USD468m), is expected to join its owner in 2020.

The new ship will retain many of the features and amenities that its sister ship Seven Seas Explorer has, according to the cruise line.
