Royal Caribbean International has ooked a new-generation cruise ship from Finnish Aker Yards, able to carry 5400 passengers - news which arrived just too late for inclusion in our February Finland report. With a contract price of approximately ?900 million, this is believed to be the most expensive ship ever ordered in the history of commercial shipbuilding. This 220,000gt prototype, developed under the name Project Genesis, will be delivered from Aker Yards, in autumn 2009. The contract includes an option for a similar vessel.
