Description of Business and Organization |
We are a leading global cruise company which operates the Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises brands. As of December 31, 2018, we had 26 ships with approximately 54,400 Berths and had orders for eight additional ships to be delivered through 2027, subject to certain conditions. These eight orders consist of Norwegian Encore, a Breakaway Plus Class Ship, for delivery in the fall of 2019; Seven Seas Splendor, an Explorer Class Ship, for delivery in the winter of 2020; and Project Leonardo, which will introduce an additional six ships with expected delivery dates through 2027. We also plan to introduce three additional ships (we refer you to Note 17— “Subsequent Events”). The addition of these 11 ships to our fleet will increase our total Berths to approximately 82,000.
Norwegian commenced operations from Miami in 1966. In February 2011, NCLH, a Bermuda limited company, was formed with the issuance to the Sponsors of, in aggregate, 10,000 ordinary shares, with a par value of $.001 per share. In January 2013, NCLH completed its IPO and the ordinary shares of NCLC, all of which were owned by the Sponsors, were exchanged for the ordinary shares of NCLH, and NCLH became the owner of 100% of the ordinary shares and parent company of NCLC (the “Corporate Reorganization”). At the same time, NCLH contributed $460.0 million to NCLC and the historical financial statements of NCLC became those of NCLH. The Corporate Reorganization was affected solely for the purpose of reorganizing our corporate structure.
In November 2014, we completed the Acquisition of Prestige. We believe that the combination of Norwegian and Prestige creates a cruise operating company with a rich product portfolio and strong market presence.
The Sponsors have completed numerous Secondary Equity Offerings of NCLH’s ordinary shares. As of December 2018, the Sponsors no longer own any NCLH ordinary shares. |
