Norwegian Cruise Line: 2027 Prices Are Up, but Your Cabin Window Is Still Open

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings reported Q3 2026 earnings with adjusted EPS of $1.12, beating guidance. 2027 sailings are priced higher but less booked, especially in the first half. The company is shifting to a baseloading pricing model. Regent Seven Seas canceled select Suez Canal voyages due to ongoing security threats. The new ship, Seven Seas Prestige, will be delivered late December 2026.
