NCLH: 8-K · earnings release

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings said in an 8-K furnished September 30, 2026 that it expects its third-quarter 2026 results to exceed the guidance provided in its July 30, 2026 second-quarter earnings release, primarily driven by better-than-expected revenue performance. The company also reaffirmed its full-year 2026 guidance from that same release, indicating the beat is incremental rather than a change to full-year expectations. Adjusting for transactions separately announced by subsidiary NCL Corporation Ltd., NCLH now expects 2027 full-year net interest expense of $860-$880 million, a forward-looking data point investors can use to model deleveraging.

Every onboard dining venue will offer entirely gluten-free menus, with the sailing developed in collaboration with Celiac Cruise, which will also serve as an official booking partner for the voyage.

Norwegian Cruise Line held an exclusive preview of its new Great Tides Waterpark on Great Stirrup Cay, its 270-acre private island in The Bahamas, with the official grand opening set for Sept. 4, 2026 when Norwegian Luna calls at the island.

Guests purchase waterpark passes via their myNCL account after booking a cruise, making the new attraction a direct monetization lever for on-island spend, though no investment amount or financial impact was disclosed.
