Most major cruise ships in Italy are built by the state-owned shipbuilding giant Fincantieri at several specialized shipyards across the country. The primary yards for large cruise ship construction are Monfalcone (near Trieste), which is the largest and has built many iconic vessels for Princess and Carnival; Marghera (near Venice), which frequently produces ships for Holland America and Cunard; and Sestri Ponente (in Genoa), which focuses on ultra-luxury and medium-sized vessels for brands like Virgin Voyages and Silversea. Additionally, the Ancona shipyard often handles smaller luxury cruise ships and ferries. Italy is one of the world's leading hubs for cruise ship "outfitting," a complex process where thousands of local artisans and specialized contractors install the high-end interiors, theaters, and luxury suites that define modern cruising. The headquarters and main design centers for these massive projects are located in Trieste and Genoa.
