Miami-based SunStone Ships has ordered another cruise vessel to be built to an Ulstein Design & Solutions’ Infinity class specification, at China Merchants Heavy Industry Haimen yard. The 104.4m-long vessel will have Ulstein’s distinctive X-Bow, a feature that enhances seakeeping characteristics and the comfort of passengers and crew on board.

Lars Ståle Skoge, the ship design firm’s commercial director, said: “We are immensely pleased to announce that we have signed a new contract with the CMHI Haimen yard for the construction of a new X-Bow expedition cruise vessel of the Ulstein CX103 design.” 

The fourth Infinity vessel will have the same feature as the existing three ships in having windows around the lounge, located in the bow. Interior designer, Tomas Tillberg, commented: “Our main focus is to bring the outdoors inside, capitalising on the big windows like the two-storey atrium ones and especially the spectacular forward bow windows that Ulstein made possible, thus furthering the small ship to a big ship feeling.”

The Ice Class 1A ship, certified for polar cruising, will have capacity for 199 passengers and 101 crew members. The highest comfort-class vessel will also be SOLAS certified with a Safe Return to Port passport.
