About
Leonardo I Overview
The as-yet-unnamed first cruise ship in Norwegian Cruise Line's Leonardo Class of ships is scheduled for delivery in November 2022. The ship will be smaller than the Breakaway and Breakaway-Plus class ships, carrying 3,300 passengers versus more than 4,000.
Though very little is known about the ship, a rendering reveal in 2018 showed a ship with a wider Waterfront and Miami-condo-style aft cabins.
Additionally, the ship will have a pointy bow, which will improve its flow through the water.
The ship will be built at a Fincantieri shipyard in Italy.
Five more ships in the Leonardo class will be delivered between 2023 and 2027.
