MSC Cruises and Meyer Werft have communicated today that it has not yet turned into contracts the letter of intent for the construction of four ships from cruise of the new class "New Frontier", plus two in option, which was signed from the two companies at the end of last year(of 15 December 2025).

MSC Cruises and Meyer Werft have explained that, if "the concrete planning of the design of the ships and the negotiations for the conclusion of the relative contracts have reached an advanced stage", however "it is a set of broad and complex contracts, for which are generally necessary at least six months". The two parties were "trustful of successful negotiations in the coming weeks".

With a maximum capacity of 5,400 passengers and a gross tonnage of about 180.000 tons, the class ships "New Frontier" should be delivered annually from 2030 and would guarantee full work to the German shipyard for the next decade.
