Royal Caribbean is spearheading the recovery of the cruise industry.
Americans are cruising again — and at record-breaking levels.
Record highs for individual bookings and cruise pricing were reported by all.
After being halted for 15 months due to the Covid pandemic, the cruise industry has made a remarkable comeback.
Carnival and Norwegian have both experienced a decline in share prices, with Carnival trading more than 50% lower than its 2019 levels and Norwegian trading more than 50% lower as well. In contrast, Royal Caribbean has seen the highest ticket revenue increase relative to 2019 among the big three cruise giants and its share price recently surpassed its pre-pandemic high.
Royal Caribbean's quick recovery and outperformance of its peers can be attributed to the fact that they issued the least amount of equity during the pandemic. While all companies were required to issue equity, Royal Caribbean was able to manage its cash position effectively by utilizing the least amount of equity through convertible debt.
