| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Liquidity, Basis of Presentation |
Liquidity As of September 30, 2024, we had liquidity of approximately $2.4 billion, including cash and cash equivalents of $332.5 million, borrowings available under our $1.2 billion undrawn Revolving Loan Facility, a €200 million commitment that can be used for future newbuild payments and a $650 million undrawn commitment of senior unsecured notes issuable by NCLC less related fees (see Note 8 – “Long-Term Debt” for further information regarding our commitments). We believe that we have sufficient liquidity to fund our obligations and expect to remain in compliance with our financial covenants for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements. We will continue to pursue various opportunities to refinance future debt maturities to reduce interest expense and/or to extend the maturity dates associated with our existing indebtedness and obtain relevant financial covenant amendments or waivers, if needed. Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in our opinion, contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. Our operations are seasonal and results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year. Historically, demand for cruises has been strongest during the Northern Hemisphere’s summer months. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, which are included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024. |
| Foreign Currency |
Foreign Currency The majority of our transactions are settled in U.S. dollars. We remeasure assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting gains or losses are recognized in our consolidated statements of operations within other income (expense), net. We recognized a loss of $32.1 million and a gain of $15.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and losses of $16.5 million and $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to remeasurement of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Remeasurements of foreign currency related to operating activities are recognized within changes in operating assets and liabilities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. |
| Depreciation and Amortization Expense |
Depreciation and Amortization Expense The amortization of deferred financing fees is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the consolidated statements of cash flows; however, for purposes of the consolidated statements of operations they are included in interest expense, net. |
| Accounts Receivable, Net |
Accounts Receivable, Net Accounts receivable, net included $4.9 million and $20.1 million due from credit card processors as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. |
| Recently Issued Accounting Guidance |
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which aims to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 includes additional disclosures on an interim and annual basis and requires that the disclosures be applied to public entities that have a single reportable segment. These provisions are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods after December 15, 2024. ASU 2023-07 shall be applied retrospectively unless it is impracticable to do so. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-07 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements other than the expanded footnote disclosure.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information as well as certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and should be applied on a prospective basis. We are evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on our notes to the consolidated financial statements. |
