Brodosplit shipyard in Croatia is celebrating a new double order worth more than €200m ($226.5m).
The Split-based company has clinched deals for a luxury megayacht and a polar expedition cruise ship.
No ownership details have been released, but the HRT website cited sales director Dino Donjerkovic as saying the yacht — "extravagant in various aspects" — is 125 metres long, with space for 12 guests and 50 crew.
He added that the cruise vessel is 110 metres long and will carry 152 passengers and 111 seafarers.
"We are sure that we will meet the deadlines that are 2025," Donjerkovic said.
The deal is seen as great news for the yard after two years of pandemic struggles.
Croatian media have reported delays of a number of months to wage payments.
In April 2021, Brodosplit handed over a 200-berth polar cruise ship called Ultramarine to US owner Quark Expeditions.
This vessel was worth more than €100m.
The yard also delivered a 340-berth cruise vessel called Golden Horizon for its own account in June.
Orderbook growing again
Three other ships remain on its books.
Croatian-linked owner Triumph Subsea has contracted a multipurpose offshore wind farm unit called FDV Chronos for delivery in 2023.
The company has options for three more units at Brodosplit.
Triumph has said detailed work is taking place on the first ship, but steel will not be cut until March this year.
Then there is the 196-berth cruise ship Janssonius, which is set to be delivered in February to Oceanwide Marine Services of the Netherlands.
The final contract is for an unnamed 1,254-berth cruise vessel due in 2024 for Storyline of Florida in the US.
