We had record full year net yields (in constant currency) and adjusted net income increased more than 60 percent driven by strong demand that outpaced unit cost increases. The momentum is carrying into 2026, which is shaping up to surpass even these remarkable results with another year of double-digit earnings growth and return on invested capital expected to exceed 13.5 percent, closing in on our 20-year high.” “With our strengthened balance sheet, powerful and diverse portfolio of world-class cruise lines and exclusive destinations, we are well positioned to capitalize on a tremendous runway to continue driving yield improvement and exceptional returns. We look forward to delivering unforgettable happiness to our guests around the world and long-term value for our shareholders, for years to come,” Weinstein added.
