The cruise giant – which operates Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises, Silversea Cruises and joint venture Tui Cruises – said it was “very encouraged” by demand and the current pricing environment.
Key products, it said, were booked ahead of the same time last year in both rate and volume.
Consumer spending for onboard purchases continues to exceed prior years driven by “greater participation at higher prices, indicating quality and healthy future demand”, Royal added.
The company is increasing its adjusted full-year earnings per share (EPS) by $0.40 compared to its February guidance.
