| Norwegian Q2 results

DESPITE “successive
geopolitical events” dampening
the demand in North America
for Mediterranean itineraries,
Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings
(NCLH) reported a 9.3% rise to
US$1.2 billion revenue for Q2.
The increase was attributed to
the addition of Norwegian Escape
and Oceania Cruises’ Sirena, as
well as improved pricing.
These gains were slightly offset
by four scheduled dry-docks.
NCLH has stated it no longer
expects to achieve the 2017
adjusted EPS target of $5.00.
