Hunting them for their oil, meat, and other products, humans decimated global whale populations before the 20th century, pushing many whale species to the brink of extinction.

  • Chairman's Statement
    Chairman’s Statement Pride of Hawai’i makes her way along the waters of Honolulu, Hawai’i 4 Dear Valued Shareholders, On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to present the Annual Report for the Star Cruises Group of Companies (“the Group”) for the year ended 31 December 2006. A BRIEF REVIEW Cruise Operations 2006 has indeed been an eventful year for our operations across the globe with the introduction of two new vessels in the US and our first foray into Eastern Mediterranean for the Star Cruises brand. Our US operations saw the addition of the Pride of Hawai’i and the Norwegian Pearl to the NCL America and NCL brands respectively as part of the ongoing fleet renewal programme. The Pride of Hawai’i, the largest US-flagged ship to be built, is the third and final new vessel to join the NCL America fleet offering Hawaii inter-island cruises. NCL also took delivery of the Norwegian Pearl with a tonnage of 93,530, the newest Freestyle Cruising vessel christened by Emmy Award winner Rosie O’Donnell. The vessel boasts an industry first with a four lane ten pin bowling alley and is a reflection of how far NCL has come over the last 40 years as the industry’s most innovative cruise line. NCL entered into a contract with Aker Yards S.A. of France to build three new cruise ships (including an option) with a tonnage of approximately 150,000 each, scheduled for delivery between 2009 and 2011. The ships represent a new generation of Freestyle Cruising vessels and we will by 2010 see very little of the NCL we bought in 2000 except the name and the people, replaced by the youngest, most innovative and exciting fleet in the industry.

  • 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.
