Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. reported a 10% increase in total revenue to $2.3 billion for the first quarter of 2026, with GAAP net income of $105 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $533 million, exceeding guidance. However, the company lowered its full-year 2026 guidance due to disruptions in the Middle East, higher fuel expenses, and softer demand. The company expects full-year Adjusted EBITDA to be between $2.48 billion and $2.64 billion, with Adjusted EPS between $1.45 and $1.79. The company also announced the appointment of five new independent directors and the delivery of the Norwegian Luna ship.
