It is only Project Leonardo. Similar example can be found in Royal Caribbean. Their Quantum Class were originally known as Project Sunshine. But the first ship was not named as Sunshine of the Seas. Hence the "project name" and the "name of the class" can be different. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breakaway Class was still Project Breakaway. https://cruiseradio.net/norwegian-cruise-line-unveils-project-breakaway-staterooms/ And Norwegian Epic was originally known as F3 Project (but surely it can't be named as Norwegian F3). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hm on a 2nd thought, I am not sure if this is Leonardo. The ship in the background appears to be a Ponant ship, Tulcea shipyard delivered one in 2019. This might be a Virgin megablock perhaps? The build in the foreground/background of this recently delivered ship, is that Leonardo? Edited August 21, 2020 by FreestyleNovice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff79 Posted August 21, 2020 #91 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Finciateri builds so many ships ( msc, Princess, Virgin getting big ships same year or before Leonardo) Hard to say, we need a expert for that ship yard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise Wonderland Posted August 21, 2020 #95 Share Posted August 21, 2020 In the recent video by Hapag-Lloyd showing the launch of Hanseatic Spirit, there is a large mega block of an unknown ship in the shipyard. I'm not sure if this is NCL Leonardo 1, or another cruise line's vessel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff79 Posted August 21, 2020 #96 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Nice. How old is this? The mega block looks to me like virgin, MSC ( evo seaside or how they name the class) or the Leonardo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesea777 Posted August 21, 2020 #99 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Here is the brochure on cruise ship building courtesy of Fincantieri: https://www.fincantieri.com/globalassets/prodotti-servizi/navi-da-crociera/fincantieri-cruise-brochure.pdf I think it's a few years old but interesting ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff79 Posted August 21, 2020 #100 Share Posted August 21, 2020 At project miles they write in the brochure that 90% of the rooms have balcony. Hope that there are some single studios with balcony at Leonardo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
