Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On December 23, 2014, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. ("NCLH," "we" or "our") announced that it quantified the financial impact of an incident on board Oceania Cruises' Insignia ship. On December 11, 2014, Insignia experienced a fire in the engine room while docked in St. Lucia during a ten-day voyage that departed San Juan, Puerto Rico on December 7, resulting in the cancellation of the remainder of the sailing. The vessel has been taken out of service and NCLH anticipates repair efforts to take approximately nine weeks. The financial impact on NCLH's fourth quarter of 2014 and the first quarter of 2015 is estimated to be a reduction in earnings of approximately $0.05 and $0.05 per share, net of insurance proceeds, respectively.
A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto. The Registrant is furnishing the information under this Item 7.01 in this Current Report on Form 8-K to comply with Regulation FD. Such information shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any of the Registrant's filings under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof and regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings, except to the extent expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
