Frank J. Del Rio to Retire After Illustrious 30-Year Career in the Cruise Industry, Effective June 30, 2023

Harry J. Sommer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Norwegian Cruise Line, Appointed Company’s Next President and Chief Executive Officer

David J. Herrera Appointed President of Norwegian Cruise Line

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (the “Company” or „NCLH“) (NYSE: NCLH), a leading global cruise company which operates the Norwegian Cruise Line (“NCL”), Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises brands, today announced that Frank J. Del Rio has decided to retire and step down from his position as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and from its Board of Directors, effective June 30, 2023. Del Rio will serve in a consultant capacity as a Senior Advisor to the Board through 2025. Harry J. Sommer, who has served as President and Chief Executive Officer of NCL since 2020, has been appointed to succeed Del Rio and will also join the Company’s Board of Directors, effective July 1, 2023. David J. Herrera, who has served as Chief Consumer Sales and Marketing Officer of NCL since 2021, will succeed Sommer as President of NCL, effective April 1, 2023.

Del Rio’s well-deserved retirement is the culmination of a remarkable career spanning three decades in the cruise industry. Del Rio has led the Company since 2015 and prior to that led Prestige Cruise International, Inc., or its predecessor, which operated Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises, from 2002 until its acquisition by Norwegian. Del Rio founded Oceania Cruises in 2002, creating a new “upper premium” market space in the cruise industry. During his tenure, Del Rio successfully led the Company in welcoming eight new and innovative ships since 2015, introducing the Company’s second private island destination, Harvest Caye, and achieving industry-leading yields and financial results. Del Rio also led the Company through the COVID-19 pandemic, the most tumultuous time in its 56-year history, and was a vocal leader and advocate for the entire cruise industry through unprecedented times as it worked to resume cruise operations globally.

Sommer, 55, has more than 30 years of cruise industry experience across sales, marketing, revenue management, passenger services, itinerary development and international business development and operations. In addition to his role as President and Chief Executive Officer, NCL, Sommer expanded his responsibilities in recent months to include oversight for all of the Company’s other revenue-generating functional areas, including Oceania Cruises, Regent Seven Seas Cruises and the tri-branded Onboard Revenue department. Previously, he served as President, International and throughout his career also held executive roles at various cruise operators.

“On behalf of the Board and the entire organization, I thank Frank for his invaluable contributions to this Company and the cruise industry throughout the last 30 years,” said Russell W. Galbut, chairman of the Board of Directors of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. “He has delivered superior financial results, expanded our fleet with luxurious and innovative ships, strengthened our global footprint and delivered unparalleled experiences for our guests. His passion and dedication will have a lasting impact on both our business and the industry at large.”

Galbut continued, “The Board is thrilled to appoint Harry to succeed Frank as the Company’s next CEO, – the culmination of a thoughtful succession planning process. A highly experienced leader and operator, Harry has worked alongside Frank for many years and helped drive the success of our largest, award-winning brand during a critical time. He successfully relaunched the NCL fleet following a more than 500-day pause, delivered the game-changing Norwegian Prima, the first of six ships in the brand’s new class, and led the team to a record-breaking booking year in 2022. Harry is undoubtedly the right leader to lead our Company forward into the next chapter of growth.”

“Leading Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my professional career,” said Frank Del Rio, president and chief executive officer of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. “My heartfelt gratitude goes out to our 39,000 team members around the globe whose innovation, tenacity and collaboration have strengthened this Company and built the industry’s most passionate and loyal base of cruisers. With the Company solidly positioned for 2023 and beyond, I am confident that now is the right time to pass the baton to Harry. Having worked closely with Harry for decades, I know firsthand that his talent and skills are ideally suited to take this Company into its next era. I look forward to continuing to work closely with Harry, the Board and our management team during the coming months to ensure a seamless transition and I am delighted to continue to serve as a Senior Advisor to the Board after the transition.”

“I am incredibly humbled to succeed Frank as this iconic Company’s next President and CEO, and I’m grateful to have the unwavering support of him and the Board to lead the Company as we embark on the next chapter for our storied brands,” Sommer said. “I am proud to have been a part of the Company’s successes during the last 15 years, and I look forward to the bright future ahead, including the transformational growth we have in the pipeline. I am honored and excited to lead and work alongside what is unquestionably the best team in the industry to deliver on our business and financial goals.”

Sommer added, “I’m particularly happy that David will be leading Norwegian Cruise Line as he has been a key contributor to NCL’s success in recent years. With his strong financial, sales, marketing and business development background, David will be further empowered to guide the NCL brand on an accelerated path forward. I am confident that he is the right person, at the right time, to lead this amazing brand into a bright future ahead.”

“I look forward to continuing to work alongside Harry and our leadership team to build on our strong momentum and continue to provide NCL guests with industry-leading experiences,” Herrera said. “I am honored and grateful for this incredible opportunity to lead this premier cruise line and our world-class team.”

Oceania Cruises wird die Schiffe 2022 und 2023 umbauen

Pressemitteilung

Oceania Cruises gab Details ihrer bisher ehrgeizigsten OceaniaNEXT-Initiative zur Verbesserung des Reiseerlebnisses bekannt: Die 1.210-Gäste-Schiffe Riviera und Marina werden von Grund auf neu gestaltet. Mit der Umgestaltung der Riviera und der Marina wird Oceania Cruises zum ersten Mal eine Flotte einsetzen, die vollständig aus brandneuen oder sogar besser als neuen Schiffen besteht.

Die Riviera und die Marina, die im Dezember 2022 bzw. im November 2023 zum Einsatz kommen, werden in einer beispiellosen Umgestaltung besser als neue Schiffe sein. Alle Suiten und Kabinen werden komplett erneuert, während in den öffentlichen Bereichen eine aufgefrischte Farbpalette die geschmackvollen Stoffe, Möbeln und Beleuchtung betont die den Stil und Komfort von Oceania Cruises widerspiegeln. Toskanischer Marmor, faszinierende Kunstwerke und Designer-Wohnmöbel werden die neu gestalteten Räume schmücken.

„Bei Oceania Cruises legen wir den Maßstab immer höher und verbessern das Gästeerlebnis bei jeder Gelegenheit. Ob es sich um innovative neue kulinarische Konzepte handelt, um faszinierende neue Reiseerlebnisse oder darum, unseren Gästen Schiffe zu präsentieren, die nicht nur besser sind, sondern besser als neu – Oceania Cruises setzt den Standard, an dem andere gemessen werden“, so Howard Sherman, President and CEO von Oceania Cruises.

Neue Suiten und Kabinen

Die Suiten und Kabinen der Riviera und Marina werden komplett neu gestaltet, um noch mehr Wohnkomfort zu bieten. Dabei bleibt keine Oberfläche unberührt und es wird viel Wert auf Design gelegt. Maßgefertigte Möbel, exotischer Stein, poliertes Holz und Designer-Accessoires verleihen den komplett umgestalteten Kabinen einen Hauch von Eleganz und Raffinesse. Auch die Wohn- und Schlafbereiche der Suiten werden mit einer luxuriösen Auswahl an neuen Materialien ausgestattet. Der glänzende italienische Marmor und die maßgeschneiderten Stoffe in harmonischen Tönen werden luxuriös und modern wirken. Die geschwungenen Tische und Stühle, die subtile Beleuchtung und die feinen Holzarbeiten werden von feinster europäischer Handwerkskunst zeugen. Die Badezimmer werden perlmuttartig schimmern, mit glitzernden Armaturen und mit geräumigen Stauräumen ausgestattet sein.

Highlights der Suiten und Kabinen:

Riviera und Marina erstrahlen in neuem Glanz mit sorgfältig ausgewählten Elementen, um ein gemütliches Gefühl von Zuhause zu schaffen.
Die Veranda-Kabinen der Concierge-Klasse und die Veranda-Kabinen sind mit ca. 27 Quadratmetern die größten Standard-Kabinen an Bord.
Die Suiten und Kabinen werden komplett umgestaltet, wobei sorgfältig durchdachte Funktionalität mit raffiniertem Luxus und einem erfrischenden Wohngefühl kombiniert werden.
Jedes private Refugium glänzt mit neuen Möbeln, eleganten, neu gestalteten Badezimmern, zeitgemäßer Beleuchtung und unzähligen durchdachten Details, wie einer Fülle von Steckdosen und USB-Anschlüssen, die immer in Reichweite sind.
Die brandneuen Bäder sind geräumig und verfügen über großzügige, überdimensionale Duschen.

Glänzende, glamouröse und strahlende öffentliche Räume

Neben den Suiten und Kabinen werden auch die öffentlichen Bereiche mit der gleichen Hingabe gestaltet, um die Atmosphäre für die Gäste noch weiter zu verbessern. Mit einem Hauch von Eleganz und Raffinesse werden die Restaurants weiter verfeinert und eine würdige Bühne für die Feinste Küche auf See schaffen. Die neu gestaltete Grand Bar lädt zu einem Cocktail ein, während die Ledersessel im Grand Dining Room ein neues Gefühl von Erhabenheit widerspiegeln werden. Außerdem wird es noch mehr Möglichkeiten geben das Essen unter freiem Himmel zu genießen: Zusätzlich zu dem Terrace Café und dem Waves Grill wird eine Trattoria jeden Abend eine Auswahl an Pizza aus dem Holzofen, saftig gegrillte italienische Spezialitäten, verlockende Salate und köstliche Desserts in einer entspannten Atmosphäre anbieten.

Highlights der öffentlichen Bereiche

Gemütliche Lounges, elegante Bars und exzellente Restaurants werden von einer Neugestaltung profitieren, die das gesellige und kulinarische Beisammensein auf ein neues Niveau hebt.
Der Grand Dining Room wird noch prächtiger und opulenter sein, mit hochwertigen neuen Teppichen und glänzenden, lederbezogenen Sesseln, die einen komfortablen Rahmen für einen ausgedehnten Abend schaffen.
Zeitlose italienische Küche wird unter dem Sternenhimmel in der neuen Pizzeria und Trattoria serviert.
Der Polo Grill erstrahlt im neuen, modernen Glanz. Unter Beibehaltung der Ledersessel und der polierten Holzvertäfelung werden ein weicher neuer Teppichboden, exquisite neue Wandverkleidungen und Vorhänge eine völlig neue und doch herrlich vertraute Kulisse für das beste Steakhouse-Erlebnis auf See schaffen.
Das Horizons wird nicht nur völlig neu gestaltet, sondern auch heller, freundlicher und noch luxuriöser als zuvor.

Debüt-Abfahrten

Die Riviera wird am 7. Dezember 2022 auf einer 16-tägigen Mittelmeer-, Atlantik- und Karibikkreuzfahrt von Rom nach Miami debütieren. Von dort aus wird die Riviera ihre beliebten 7- bis 14-tägigen Kreuzfahrten von Miami in die Karibik, nach Mexiko und Mittelamerika wieder aufnehmen, bevor sie Ende März 2023 nach Europa zurückkehrt. Ende 2023 und Anfang 2024 wird die Riviera dann eine Eröffnungssaison mit Entdeckungsreisen in den Fernen Osten einläuten. Die Marina wird am 13. November 2023 auf einer 7-tägigen Kreuzfahrt von Barcelona nach Lissabon debütieren. Von Lissabon aus nimmt die Marina Kurs auf Miami, wo sie am 3. Dezember 2023 ihre jährliche Südamerika-Saison beginnt.

Neu, aber doch beständig

In einer neuen Welt glanzvollen und luxuriösen Designs können Gäste sich sicher sein, dass der typisch herzliche und persönliche Service von Oceania Cruises sich nicht ändern wird. Das bekräftigt Sherman: „Unsere Mitarbeiter stehen im Mittelpunkt unseres Handelns, und die Offiziere und die Crew von Oceania Cruises sind die besten auf See. Während das Erlebnis an Bord weiterhin überrascht und erfreut, bleibt der Service unseres Personals herrlich vertraut, warm und liebenswürdig.“

Auch Regatta, Insignia, Nautica und Sirena sind bereits besser als neu

Neben der Riviera und der Marina sind auch die vier 656-Gäste-Schiffe von Oceania Cruises besser als neu, da sie kürzlich neu gestaltet wurden. Die neue Insignia debütierte auf ihrer Weltreise 2019, kurz darauf folgten die Regatta und die Sirena im selben Jahr, und schließlich die Nautica, die am 1. April 2022 wieder in Dienst gestellt wurde. Die komplett modernisierten Suiten und Kabinen werden durch neu gestaltete öffentliche Bereiche ergänzt, die mit schicken und eleganten Möbeln ausgestattet sind und von einer faszinierenden internationalen Kunstsammlung akzentuiert werden.

Details zu den Reiserouten 2024 für die gesamte Flotte von Oceania Cruises werden in den kommenden Wochen bekannt gegeben. Weitere Informationen über Kreuzfahrten an Bord der luxuriösen Boutiqueschiffe von Oceania Cruises erhalten Interessierte im Reisebüro oder telefonisch unter (+49) 69 222 23 300 sowie online unter www.OceaniaCruises.com.

NCL Holdings: Restart Pläne für USA-Abfahrten, Impfpflicht für Crew und Passagiere (ab US-Häfen)

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. Submits Plan to CDC and Will Be Ready to Join America’s National Opening

Company to Require 100% Vaccination of Guests and Crew During Initial Relaunch Consistent with CDC Guidance on International Travel

Letter to CDC Outlines Company’s Plan to Restart Cruising from U.S. Ports Starting July 4^th with Multi-Layered SailSAFE^TM Health and Safety Program

Company Believes Vaccines Combined with Phased-in Launch and Proven Health and Safety Measures Provide Uniquely Safe and Healthy Environment

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (“Norwegian” or “the Company”) (NYSE: NCLH), a leading global cruise company which operates the Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises brands, sent a letter to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) today outlining its plan to resume cruise operations from U.S. ports in July that includes its multi-layered SailSAFE Health and Safety Program developed in conjunction with globally recognized experts, including the Healthy Sail Panel (“HSP”). The Company’s plan is consistent with the CDC’s updated guidance that international travel is safe for fully vaccinated individuals and that COVID-19 vaccination efforts will be critical in the safe resumption of cruise ship travel.

By requiring full and complete vaccinations of guests and crew, the Company believes it shares in the spirit and exceeds the intent of the CDC’s Conditional Sailing Order (“CSO”) to advance mutual public health goals and protect guests, crew and the communities it visits. Norwegian trusts and is optimistic the CDC will agree that mandatory vaccination requirements eliminate the need for the CSO and therefore requests for the lifting of the order for Norwegian’s vessels, allowing them to cruise from U.S. ports starting July 4. The Company looks forward to its continued partnership with the CDC in recommencing operations with 100% vaccinated guests and crew aboard and reduced capacity initially as part of a phased-in launch.

“We congratulate the CDC on the steps it has taken to further open travel for vaccinated Americans. Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings shares the CDC’s view that vaccinations are the primary vehicle for Americans to get back to their everyday lives,” said Frank Del Rio, president and chief executive officer of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. ”We believe that through a combination of 100% mandatory vaccinations for guests and crew and science-backed public health measures as developed by the Healthy Sail Panel, led by former Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services Michael Leavitt and former Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration Dr. Scott Gottlieb, we can create a safe, ‘bubble-like’ environment for guests and crew. We look forward to joining the rest of the travel, tourism and hospitality sectors in participating in this next phase of our recovery.”

While the risk of COVID-19 cannot be eliminated in its entirety, over the past eight months the cruise industry has successfully carried nearly 400,000 passengers in more than 10 major cruise markets outside the United States with only a few isolated COVID-19 cases that were effectively identified, contained, and mitigated without impacting the health or interrupting the vacations of others. This was all done prior to the availability of widespread vaccinations.

Del Rio continued, “Our robust and comprehensive SailSAFE health and safety program extends well beyond the protocols of the travel, leisure and hospitality sectors, all of which have already reopened including hotels and resorts, casinos, restaurants, sporting venues, theme parks and airlines. With vaccine mandates and strict health and safety protocols in place, we believe we can provide a uniquely safe and healthy vacation experience. With our vessels back in operation, we will not only reinstate thousands of American jobs and meet the significant consumer demand for cruising, but also re-contribute billions of dollars to the U.S. economy as the industry resumes cruise operations.”

The Company is committed to protecting the health and safety of its guests, crew and communities visited. The SailSAFE health and safety program, with new and enhanced protocols, creates multiple layers of protection against COVID-19, and will be informed by expert guidance, domestic and international governments and public health agencies. These measures, including vaccination requirements, will be continuously refined as science, technology and the knowledge of COVID-19 evolves. Details on the Company’s SailSAFE program can be found here: SailSAFE Health and Safety Program.
