Norwegian Cruise Line Reports Q2 Earnings Beat but Lowers Full-Year Outlook
Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings reported second-quarter net income of $0.48 per share, exceeding both its guidance and analyst expectations. Revenue for the quarter rose 4.9% to $2.64 billion, while adjusted EBITDA declined slightly to $666 million but still beat forecasts. Despite these positive results, Norwegian cut its full-year earnings outlook due to ongoing demand challenges and operational issues at its Norwegian Cruise Line brand. The company now expects a 5% decline in net yield for the year compared to 2025 and trimmed adjusted EPS guidance to $1.50 from a previous range of $1.45–$1.79. The cruise line cited rising fuel costs, instability in the Middle East, and execution missteps as key factors affecting performance. Norwegian has identified additional cost savings measures totaling over $225 million annually.
