  • Norwegian Cruise Line Corporate Overview
    NORWEGIAN CRUISE LINE CORPORATE OVERVIEW Norwegian Cruise Line is the innovator in cruise travel with a 44-year history of breaking the boundaries of traditional cruising, most notably with the introduction of Freestyle Cruising which has revolutionized the industry by allowing guests more freedom and flexibility. Today, Norwegian has 11 purpose-built Freestyle Cruising ships providing guests the opportunity to enjoy a relaxed cruise vacation on some of the newest and most contemporary ships at sea. In 2010, the Company reached an agreement with MEYER WERFT GMBH of Germany to build two new next generation Freestyle Cruising ships for delivery in spring 2013 and spring 2014, respectively. Each of the 143,500 gross ton vessels, the largest passenger/cruise ships to be built in Germany, will have approximately 4,000 passenger berths and a rich cabin mix. In February 2000, Norwegian was acquired by Genting Hong Kong Limited formerly Star Cruises Ltd (SES: STRC), a Hong Kong stock exchange listed company, and part of Malaysia's Genting Group. Following the acquisition of Norwegian, Star Cruises became the third largest cruise line in the world. While under 100 percent ownership by Star, the company embarked on an expansion program that involved new ships, on-board product enhancements and innovative itineraries. In August 2007, private equity group, Apollo Management, LP, agreed to make a $1 billion cash equity investment in Norwegian. Under the terms of the investment which closed on January 7, 2008, Apollo became a 50 percent owner of Norwegian and has named a majority of the company’s board with certain consent rights retained by Genting.

  • Cruise Ship Owners/Operators and Passenger Ship Financing & Management Companies
    More than a Directory! Cruise Ship Owners/Operators and Passenger Ship Financing & Management Companies 1st Edition, April 2013 © 2013 by J. R. Kuehmayer www.amem.at Cruise Ship Owners / Operators Preface The AMEM Publication “Cruise Ship Owners/Operators and Passenger Ship Financing & Management Compa- nies” in fact is more than a directory! Company co-ordinates It is not only the most comprehensively and accurately structured listing of cruise ship owners and operators in the industry, despite the fact that the majority of cruise lines is more and more keeping both the company’s coordinates and the managerial staff secret. The entire industry is obtrusively focused on selling their services weeks and months ahead of the specific cruise date, collecting the money at a premature stage and staying almost unattainable for their clients pre and after cruise requests. They simply ignore the fact that there are suppliers and partners around who wish to keep in touch personally at least with the cruise line’s technical and procurement departments! The rest of the networking-information is camouflaged by the yellow-pages industry, which is facing a real prospect of extinction. The economic downturn is sending the already ailing business into a tailspin. The yellow-pages publishers basically give back in one downturn what took seven years to grow! Cruise Ship Financing It is more than a directory as it unveils the shift in the ship financing sector and uncovers how fast the traditional financiers to the cruise shipping industry fade away and perverted forms of financing are gaining ground. Admittedly there are some traditional banks around, which can maintain their market position through a blend of sober judgements, judicious risk management and solid relationships.

  • Norwegian Cruise Line
    TC6-0037 Norwegian Cruise Line Kevin Sheehan, Chief Executive Officer and President of Norwegian Cruise Line, looked out the window as the plane descended into Frankfurt, Germany, where Sheehan would join colleagues to drive to the Meyer Werft Shipyard in Papenburg, Germany. With two months before the delivery of Norwegian’s newest ship, Norwegian Breakaway, Sheehan reflected on the evolution of the company’s Freestyle Cruising product offering. Breakaway was completely designed and built to deliver on the latest generation of Freestyle Cruising— Norwegian’s core differentiator that provided guests more options for dining, entertainment and accommodations than typical cruise vacations. Under Sheehan’s leadership over the past six years, Norwegian had experienced a dramatic turnaround, largely due to his efforts to help the organization deliver on the promise of providing a great Freestyle experience. In January 2013, after five years of profitable growth, Sheehan rang the bell at NASDAQ on Norwegian’s first day of trading. It had been a whirlwind getting ready for the IPO and the first months of 2013 had not let up. Looking at the bleak March landscape surrounding the airport, Sheehan wondered how Norwegian could continue to improve the guest experience, further enhancing the Freestyle concept on board Norwegian Breakaway and the fleet’s eleven other ships. The Cruise Industry The modern passenger cruise industry evolved from a means of transportation to become a popular vacation option where, beyond the exotic destinations, the ship’s amenities and the voyage itself were a key part of the vacation experience. Mass-market cruise ships typically carried between 2,000 and 5,000 passengers (as well as 800 to 1,700 crewmembers) and offered a wide variety of entertainment.
