Helsinki Shipyard to build 2 luxury vessels for Vodohod

Helsinki Shipyard Oy and Russia’s river cruise company Vodohod Ltd on Thursday signed a

contract for two Luxury Cruise Expedition Vessels, said a press release.

The vessels are intended to operate in high latitude areas both in the Arctic and Antarctic waters as well as in the tropical waters during the Spring and Autumn seasons.

The design work for the project has already started at Helsinki Shipyard Oy. The first vessel is expected to

be delivered in August 2021 and the second vessel in January 2022.

The vessels measure about 110 metres in length and 20 metres in breadth. The vessels will have an ice

class PC6. The passenger capacity will be 148 persons and the maximum number of crew onboard will be

110 persons.

“We are very proud and happy for the first order of the new shipyard and I believe this now proves to

everyone that we have started a new chapter in the operation of Helsinki Shipyard. We will strengthen

especially our design department in the near future and in connection with the start of production, also our

production department. We invite everyone interested to contact our human resources department.” Said

Carl-Gustaf Rotkirch, CEO of Helsinki Shipyard Oy.
