Aurora Expeditions has revealed that it has chartered a second Ulstein-designed ice-class cruiseship from Miami-based SunStone Ships.

Robert Halfpenny, Aurora’s managing director, told cruise industry media yesterday that the 7,900-gt X-bow newbuilding will join his company’s fleet in 2021.

This suggests that the vessel in question is the seventh unit of SunStone’s Infinity-class ships that was ordered at China Merchants Heavy Industry (CMHI) last week.
