NCL sees many signs of better times ahead
NCL Corporation that operates the Norwegian Cruise Line and NCL America cruise brands says a host of factors are pointing towards improvements in the operating environment of the Miami based company.
”Year over year booking volume continues to be positive and occupancy levels for 2010 are tracking comparable to 2009’s record levels. On a cumulative basis, 2010 pricing on the books is ahead of 2009 and Net Per Diems for passenger ticket revenue on recent booking activity is above prior year levels in all quarters. Additionally, the booking window continues to expand reflecting the increased demand for our product offering, NCL stated. “I see many positive factors that are driving improved cruise demand, all of which reinforce the unmatched value of a cruise vacation, and in particular the freedom and flexibility of a Norwegian Cruise Line Freestyle cruise,” said ceo Kevin Sheehan.
”The departure of the 17-year old, 1,440-berth Norwegian Majesty marked the final milestone in the evolution of Norwegian’s fleet to one comprised solely of purpose-built, Freestyle Cruising vessels. “We’ve been looking forward to this final step in our fleet renewal program,” said Sheehan. “Norwegian now has an entirely young and modern fleet of vessels designed exclusively with our signature Freestyle Cruising in mind. In addition all eyes are on the upcoming launch of our newest and largest purpose-built Freestyle Cruising ship, Norwegian Epic.”
