US cruise giant Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd on Wednesday signed a letter of intent with the French arm of South Korean shipbuilder STX to build three ships in a deal worth 2.5 billion euros (S$3.8 billion), the shipyard said.

The announcement comes less than two weeks after STX France, based in Saint-Nazaire on the Atlantic coast, handed over the world's biggest cruise ship, the 120,000-tonne Oasis-class Harmony of the Seas, to Royal Caribbean.
