The new vessel will share the feature of a bow lounge surrounded by windows with three other vessels in the Infinity class.

Tomas Tillberg Design will provide the interior design of the new vessel.

With a capacity to accommodate 199 passengers along with a crew of 101, the new vessel will be ICE CLASS 1A certified for polar cruising.

Tomas Tillberg Design stated: “Our main focus is to bring the outdoors inside, capitalising on the big windows like the two-story atrium ones and especially the spectacular FWD bow windows that Ulstein made possible, thus furthering the small ship to a big ship feeling.”

Last December, a keel laying ceremony was held at the ZPMC yard in China for two service operation vessels (SOVs) that were designed by Ulstein.
