DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS, The debut of the most luxurious cruise ship ever built, the expansion of an already award-winning fleet of midsize ships, the celebration of a golden anniversary, and the posting of record financial results. It was a year where all three of our brands experienced meaningful developments and reached significant milestones. Regent Seven Seas Cruises debuted Seven Seas Explorer to rave reviews from guests, travel partners, and media alike. Oceania Cruises expanded its fleet with the addition of Sirena, joining award-winning R-class sister ships Regatta, Insignia, and Nautica. We also celebrated a historic milestone, the 50th anniversary of the first sailing of Norwegian Cruise Line, which ushered in the era of modern cruising. In addition to these landmark events and achievements, the company posted solid financial results in the midst of a weaker than anticipated operating environment, particularly in the Mediterranean region, which was impacted by multiple extremist incidents throughout the year. Nevertheless, we achieved record revenues of $4.9 billion, and GAAP earnings per share increased 49% from the prior year to $2.78, with adjusted earnings per share1 increasing 18% from the prior year to $3.41. In 2017, we will continue to execute on our strategies to diversify sourcing, continue our disciplined fleet expansion program, and continue cost containment initiatives to drive maximum returns for our shareholders. These strategies include the continued expansion of our international footprint, highlighted by our entry into the Chinese source market with the launch of Norwegian Joy, which is designed specifically for Chinese guests. We will also begin preparations for the 2018 launch of our first purpose-built ship for Alaska, Norwegian Bliss. The ship will sail from a newly refurbished terminal in Seattle, thanks to a partnership between Norwegian Cruise Line and the Port of Seattle. These are just a few of our strategies and initiatives aimed at positioning us for continued growth and enhanced returns for our shareholders. HARVEST CAYE Guests will enjoy a 75-acre oasis featuring an expansive 15,000 square foot pool with a swim-up bar and cabanas for rent. 1Adjusted earnings per share is a non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, and other associated disclosures are contained in the company’s 2016 Annual Report.

NORWEGIAN CRUISE LINE CELEBRATES 50 YEARS On December 19, 1966, Norwegian Cruise Line, then known as Norwegian Caribbean Line, launched one small ship from the fledgling Port of Miami, carrying guests to destinations in the Caribbean. The M/S Sunward carried just 550 vacationers, and yet her maiden voyage revolutionized the way Americans, and later the world, would view a vacation at sea. Sailings on the M/S Sunward introduced guests to a new type of vacation, one where they unpacked once, embarked and disembarked a ship in the same city, and in between experienced a world very different from their own. Compared to today’s cruise industry, the accommodations were sparse, HARVEST CAYE the service was passable, and the food was better known for its quantity rather than its quality. Nevertheless, the unique experiences this new type of vacation delivered kept guests coming back for more. Over the past 50 years, Norwegian Cruise Line has never stopped innovating. Norwegian has been at the forefront of industry innovations and firsts: from developing the industry's first private island experience in 1977, to launching the first 2,000-plus passenger ship in the Caribbean, as well as pioneering service to Alaska from Seattle, and bringing back American-flagged cruising in Hawaii. But perhaps its biggest innovation, aside from pioneering the modern cruise vacation, was the introduction of NORWEGIAN CRUISE LINE CREW MEMBERS, Freestyle Cruising®. Norwegian took one of the last vestiges CIRCA 1974. of the old ocean liner experience, nightly assigned seating in a single venue, and introduced a dining offering more typical of a resort vacation. The line offered a variety of dining venues on every vessel, allowing guests to choose to dine when they want, where they want and with whomever they want. Today, our unique capability to deliver this product offering is unrivaled in the industry, making Norwegian the primary choice for guests looking for a less structured cruise vacation.
