Concept and Construction
The finalization of contract for the construction of Marina and her sister ship, plus an option for a third, was reached on 18 June 2007. The Marina is a mid-sized ship, at 66,000 tons and was designed by the Yran & Storbraaten (Y&S) architectural firm. The keel of Marina was laid on 10 March 2009 and included the welding of a U.S. silver dollar coin and a pre-Castro Cuban peso coin in the keel and is believed to bring fortune to the ship, its passengers and crew during their seagoing life.
