Viking Ocean Cruises, the privately owned luxury cruise line and the Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri have signed a memorandum of agreement to build two 47,800 gross ton cruise ships, plus a further two on option, Fincantieri said in a statement.

The first two ships are due for delivery in 2021 and 2022, respectively, but the agreement remains subject to satisfactory conclusion of certain technical and financial matters.

Like the previous ships of the company, the newbuildings will carry 930 passengers that are accommodated in 465 cabins, all of which have their own balconies.
