In the second quarter, the company's booking window extended to 255 days, an increase of 51 days, or 20%, compared to Q2 2019.
'This record booking window ... is a huge number for the company and really gives us confidence for 2024 and beyond,' Sommer told analysts Tuesday, one month into the president/CEO role at NCLH.
Most booked revenue coming in is for 2024 and 2025
Over the last 13 weeks, more than 70% of booked revenue is for 2024 and 2025 itineraries, Sommer said.
Another impact of longer itineraries is slightly lower occupancies.
However, as the company outlined in its Q2 report, longer itineraries are expected to attract higher quality customers, generate higher net yields, improve guest satisfaction and cultivate stronger loyalty over time.
