The company was able to amend loans backed by Hermes, Germany's export-credit agency, to finance Celebrity Eclipse, Celebrity Equinox, Celebrity Reflection, Celebrity Silhouette, Odyssey of the Seas, Celebrity Solstice, Spectrum of the Seas, Anthem of the Seas and Quantum of the Seas.
These will allow Royal Caribbean to defer approximately $570m of principal amortization payments due between April 2021 and March 2022.
In another amended Hermes-backed loan related to Ovation of the Seas, the company may defer approximately $90m of principal amortization payments due between May 2021 and April 2022.

And an amended BpiFAE-backed loan for Symphony of the Seas allows the company to defer for 12 more months approximately $125m of principal amortization payments due between April 2021 and March 2022.
