No Japanese newbuildings for Carnival

The Carnival Corp will not be building two newbuilding cruise ships at Japan’s Mitsubishi heavy Industries. Talks between the two parties have been underway for months for two 1,000 passenger capacity vessels for delivery in 2013 and 2014. However, due to the global recession and both companies not being able to agree on the price for the ships, the deal has been shelved for the time being. Sphere: Related Content
