Fincantieri launched a new cruise ship into the water at its Venice facilities on Thursday, October 1.
Rotterdam is the third Pinnacle-class ship to be built by Fincantieri for Holland America Line. It will have a length of 300 metres and accommodation for 2,668 passengers in 1,340 cabins.
Fitting-out is expected to commence within the next few weeks and will end in the summer of 2021, after which the vessel will be delivered to its new owners.
