Norwegian Cruise Line’s 2022 bookings are in line with 2019’s record levels and “at higher pricing”, a trading update has revealed.

NCL is seeing pent up demand for cruising

NCL said full year 2022 pricing had outstripped 2019’s “even when including the dilutive impact of future cruise credits”. 

It added: “The overall cumulative booked position for the second half of 2022, when the full fleet is expected to be back in operation and at normalized occupancy levels, is meaningfully higher than 2019 and at higher prices.”

The update came as NCL reported trading for July, August and September, its third quarter.

NCL’s net loss was $845.9 million, compared to $677.4 million in the same period last year. Revenue increased from $6.5 million in 2020 to $153.1 million as voyages resumed.
