In January 2019, we (a) reduced the pricing of our existing $875.0 million Revolving Loan Facility, (b) reduced the pricing and increased the approximately $1.3 billion principal amount outstanding under the term loan A facility to $1.6 billion, and (c) extended the maturity dates for our Revolving Loan Facility and our term loan A facility to 2024, subject to certain conditions. The applicable margin under the Revolving Loan Facility and term loan A facility and was reduced by 25 basis points from the prior facility. We used the proceeds from the increase in our term loan A facility to prepay all of the then outstanding amounts under the term loan B facility.

 

In January 2019, we obtained financing for five additional ships with expected delivery dates through 2027, subject to certain Italian government approvals. Two of such ships are Project Leonardo ships which were ordered for delivery in 2026 and 2027 and each have a contract price which is approximately €800.0 million, or $917.4 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2018. We have ordered an additional Explorer Class Ship to be delivered in 2023. The contract price for this ship is approximately €473.5 million, or $543.0 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2018. We also have ordered two Allura Class Ships to be delivered in 2022 and 2025. The contract price for each of these ships is approximately €578.7 million, or $663.6 million based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2018. We have obtained export credit financing which is expected to fund approximately 80% of the contract price of each ship expected to be delivered through 2027, subject to certain conditions.
