Papenburg, Germany.

The ship is scheduled for deliv- ery in March 1995 and will be 853 feet in length, possess a 105-foot beam and carry 1,975-passengers.

Propulsion will be provided by two pairs of MAN B&W type L 58/64 diesel engines, arranged in a fa- ther-son configuration of one six- cylinder and one nine-cylinder en- gine generating a combined 39,750 kW (54,060 hp) and driving two vari- able-pitch propellers at a maximum speed of 24 knots. For shipboard mains supply and boost operation, four MAN B&W 6L 40/54 auxiliary engines with a total output of 17,680 kW (24,040 hp) will be used.

Meyer Werft delivered the luxury cruise liners MS Horizon, April 1990, and MS Zenith, March 1992, to

Chandris Celebrity Cruises. Each ship was equipped with seven MAN

B&W L40/45 type engines.

Up to this date, MAN B&W has sold 170 of its L 40/45, L/V 48/60 and

L 58/64 family of large medium- speed diesel engines.
