4. Revenue Recognition Disaggregation of Revenue Revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors in various geographical regions. Revenues by destination were as follows (in thousands):
North America includes the U.S., the Caribbean, Canada and Mexico. Europe includes the Baltic region, Canary Islands and Mediterranean. Asia-Pacific includes Australia, New Zealand and Asia. Other includes all other international territories. Segment Reporting and Geographic Concentration We have concluded that our business has a single reportable segment. Although we sell cruises on an international basis, our passenger ticket revenue is primarily attributed to U.S.-sourced guests who make reservations through the U.S. Revenue attributable to U.S.-sourced guests has approximated 84-87% of total revenue over the preceding three fiscal years. No other individual country’s revenues exceed 10% in any given period. Contract Balances Receivables from customers are included within accounts receivable, net. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our receivables from customers were $112.1 million and $126.4 million, respectively, primarily related to in-transit credit card receivables.
Future cruise credits that have been issued as face value reimbursement for cancelled bookings due to COVID-19 are approximately $64.5 million. The future cruise credits are not contracts, and therefore, guests who elected this option are excluded from our contract liability balance; however, the credit for the original amount paid is included in advance ticket sales.
Our contract liabilities are included within advance ticket sales. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our contract liabilities were $2.9 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively. Of the amounts included within contract liabilities as of June 30, 2024, approximately 40% were refundable in accordance with our cancellation policies. Of the deposits included within advance ticket sales, the majority are refundable in accordance with our cancellation policies and it is uncertain to what extent guests may request refunds. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, $2.1 billion of revenue recognized was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period. |
