Geographic Concentration

Although we sell cruises on an international basis, our passenger ticket revenue is primarily attributed to U.S.-sourced guests who make reservations through the U.S. Our revenue attributable to U.S.-sourced guests has approximated 84% of total revenue over the preceding three fiscal years. No other individual country’s revenues exceed 10% in any given period.

Contract Balances

Receivables from customers are included within accounts receivable, net. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our receivables from customers were $98.6 million and $102.3 million, respectively, primarily related to in-transit credit card receivables.

Our contract liabilities are included within advance ticket sales. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our contract liabilities were $2.8 billion and $2.3 billion, respectively. Of the amounts included within contract liabilities as of June 30, 2026, approximately 40% were refundable in accordance with our cancellation policies. Of the deposits included within advance ticket sales, the majority are refundable in accordance with our cancellation policies and it is uncertain to what extent guests may request refunds. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, $2.2 billion of revenue recognized was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period.
