M/S Megastar has already been deployed on the route across the Gulf of Finland from Tallinn, Estonia to Helsinki, Finland. The vessel is powered by Wärtsilä dual-fuel engines that operate primarily on liquefied natural gas (LNG).

The ship also features two Wärtsilä fixed-pitch propellers and propeller shaft lines, new-generation Wärtsilä Nacos Platinum integrated navigation system and external communication facilities.

Wärtsilä has also signed a separate €900m, 12-year performance-based agreement with Carnival to carry out engine maintenance and monitoring work for 79 of the cruise line's vessels.
