The Company is experiencing headwinds related to disruptions in the Middle East, including higher fuel expense and signs of softer demand as consumers reevaluate travel plans, particularly to Europe. As previously noted, the Company entered 2026 behind its targeted booking curve, and these headwinds have hindered the Company’s ability to accelerate bookings and close that gap. These external pressures come as the Company continues to enhance its revenue management system and improve execution, resulting in additional pressure on the business and a reduction in its full year guidance. A summary of the updated full year guidance is provided below:

2026 full year Net Yield on a Constant Currency basis is expected to be down approximately 3% to 5% versus 2025. 2026 Adjusted Net Cruise Cost excluding Fuel per Capacity Day is expected to be approximately flat on a Constant Currency basis versus 2025, reflecting better-than-previously-guided performance driven by workforce optimization and other SG&A savings. 2026 full year Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be approximately $2.48 billion to $2.64 billion. Adjusted Operational EBITDA Margin for the full year 2026 is expected to be 32.9% to 34.3%. Full year Adjusted Net Income is expected to be approximately $679 million to $838 million.
