−Removed: In addition, to determine the useful lives of the ship or ship components, management considers the impact of the historical useful lives of similar assets, manufacturer recommended lives and anticipated changes in technological conditions.
−Removed: The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to ship accounting - improvement costs is a critical audit matter are there was significant judgment by management in determining whether costs associated with ship improvements add value to the Company’s ships and in estimating the useful lives assigned.
−Removed: This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence relating to whether capitalization and useful lives assigned were appropriate.
+Added: Interim Impairment Assessments - Regent Seven Seas Cruises Goodwill and Regent Seven Seas Cruises and Oceania Cruises Trade Names
+Added: As described in Notes 2, 4 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s goodwill balance was $98.1 million and trade names balance was $500.5 million as of December 31, 2020.
+Added: The Regent Seven Seas Cruises reporting unit goodwill was $98.1 million, and the indefinite-lived trade name intangible assets in the Regent Seven Seas Cruises and Oceania Cruises reporting units was $153.0 million and $140.0 million, respectively.
+Added: For the year ended December 31, 2020, management recorded a $364.0 million goodwill impairment charge associated with the Regent Seven Seas Cruises reporting unit and impairment charges of $147.0 million and $170.0 million related to the Regent Seven Seas Cruises and Oceania Cruises indefinite-lived trade name intangible assets, respectively.
+Added: Management evaluates goodwill and trade names for impairment annually or more frequently when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicates the carrying value of a reporting unit may not be recoverable.
+Added: Due to the continued spread of COVID-19, growing travel restrictions and limited access to ports around the world, in March 2020, management implemented a voluntary suspension of all cruise voyages across its three brands.
+Added: As of the date of this filing and through at least May 31, 2021, all cruise voyages remain suspended.
+Added: As a result of the temporary suspension of voyages and decline in the Company’s stock price, management performed interim goodwill and trade name impairment tests as of March 31, 2020.
+Added: The interim goodwill assessment consists of an approach using discounted future cash flows and other market data to
+Added: determine the estimated fair value of the reporting units.
+Added: The discounted cash flow valuation reflects management’s principal assumptions of (i) forecasted future operating results and growth rates, which have been prepared under multiple scenarios and are probability weighted, (ii) forecasted capital expenditures for fleet growth and ship improvements and (iii) a weighted average cost of capital of market participants.
+Added: For trade names, management used the relief from royalty method, which uses the same forecasts and discount rates from the discounted cash flow valuation in the goodwill assessment along with a trade name royalty rate assumption.
+Added: The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the interim impairment assessment of the Regent Seven Seas Cruises goodwill and the Regent Seven Seas Cruises and Oceania Cruises trade names is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when determining the fair value estimates;
+Added: (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to forecasted future operating results and growth rates prepared under multiple scenarios and probability weighted for goodwill and trade names, forecasted capital expenditures for fleet growth and ship improvements for goodwill and the weighted average cost of capital of market participants for goodwill and trade names as well as the royalty rate assumption for trade names;
+Added: and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements.
−Removed: These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to capitalization of ship improvements, including controls over the estimation of whether improvements add value to the ship and the useful lives assigned.
−Removed: These procedures also included, among others, testing the accuracy, existence/occurrence and valuation of capitalized ship improvement costs and evaluating whether costs capitalized add value to the ship.
−Removed: Evaluating the reasonableness of the useful lives assigned involved considering historical data and past experience with similar ship improvements.
−Removed: Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the reasonableness of the assigned useful lives.
−Removed: Goodwill Impairment Assessment - Oceania Cruises Reporting Unit
−Removed: As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s goodwill balance for the Oceania Cruises reporting unit was $523.0 million as of December 31, 2019.
−Removed: Management reviews goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or earlier if there is an event or change in circumstances that would indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be fully recoverable.
−Removed: For the 2019 annual goodwill impairment evaluation, management conducted a quantitative assessment comparing the fair value of the Oceania Cruises reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill.
−Removed: This assessment consists of a combined approach using discounted future cash flows and market multiples to determine the fair value of the reporting units.
−Removed: The market approach considers revenue and EBITDA multiples from an appropriate peer group.
−Removed: The discounted cash flow valuation reflects management’s principal assumptions related to (i) forecasted future operating results and growth rates, (ii) forecasted capital expenditures for fleet growth and ship improvements, and (iii) a weighted average cost of capital of market participants, adjusted for an optimal capital structure.
−Removed: Management believes that the combined approach is the most representative method to assess fair value as it utilizes expectations of long-term growth as well as current market conditions.
−Removed: The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the goodwill impairment assessment of the Oceania Cruises reporting unit is a critical audit matter are there was significant judgment by management when developing the fair value of the reporting unit.
−Removed: This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and in evaluating audit evidence relating to management’s future cash flow projections and selected market multiples and the significant assumptions, including revenue and EBITDA multiples from an appropriate peer group, forecasted future operating results and growth rates, forecasted capital expenditures for fleet growth and ship improvements, and the weighted average cost of capital of market participants.
−Removed: In addition, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in performing these procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained from these procedures.
+Added: These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s interim goodwill impairment assessment of the Regent Seven Seas Cruises reporting unit and the interim trade name impairment assessment of the Regent Seven Seas Cruises trade name and the Oceania Cruises trade name.
+Added: These procedures also included, among others, (i) testing management’s process for determining the fair value estimates related to the interim impairment assessments;
+Added: (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted future cash flow approach and the relief from royalty method;
+Added: (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the fair value estimates;
+Added: and (iv) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management, including forecasted future operating results and growth rates prepared under multiple scenarios and probability weighted for goodwill and trade names, forecasted capital expenditures for fleet growth and ship improvements for goodwill, the weighted average cost of capital of market participants for goodwill and trade names, and trade name royalty rates.
+Added: Evaluating management’s assumptions related to forecasted future operating results and growth rates prepared under multiple scenarios and probability weighted for goodwill and trade names and forecasted capital expenditures for fleet growth and ship improvements for goodwill involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of the reporting unit (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data;
+Added: and (iii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.
+Added: Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the Company’s discounted future cash flow approach and relief from royalty method, the weighted average cost of capital of market participants and trade name royalty rates assumptions.
+Added: Liquidity - Impact of COVID-19
+Added: As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, due to the continued spread of COVID-19, growing travel restrictions and limited access to ports around the world, in March 2020, management implemented a voluntary suspension of all cruise voyages across its three brands.
+Added: As of the date of this filing and through at least May 31, 2021, all cruise voyages remain suspended.
+Added: Significant events affecting travel, including COVID-19, typically have an impact on the demand for cruise vacations, with the full extent of the impact generally determined by the length of time the event influences travel decisions.
+Added: Management believes the ongoing effects of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations and global bookings have had, and will continue to have, a significant impact on the Company’s financial results and liquidity, and such negative impact may continue well beyond the containment of the pandemic.
+Added: Due to the unknown duration and extent of the COVID-19 pandemic, travel restrictions, bans and advisories, uncertainties around the Company’s ability to comply with governmental regulations, the potential unavailability of ports and/or destinations, voyage cancellations and timing of redeployments, and a general impact on consumer sentiment regarding cruise travel, management cannot predict when they will relaunch voyages or when the Company’s full fleet will be back in service at historical occupancy levels.
+Added: Until management is able to begin their phased relaunch, the projected liquidity requirements reflect management’s principal assumptions surrounding ongoing operating costs during the suspension of cruise voyages, as well as liquidity requirements for financing costs and necessary capital expenditures, and their ability
+Added: to continue to implement cash conservation strategies, including, but not limited to (i) moving their ships to minimum manning levels;
+Added: (ii) further reductions in general operating expenses;
+Added: and (iii) further reductions in discretionary capital expenditures.
+Added: Based on these actions and assumptions regarding the impact of COVID-19, and considering the Company’s available liquidity including cash and cash equivalents of $3.3 billion at December 31, 2020, management has concluded that after implementing the above cash conservation strategies, the Company has sufficient liquidity to satisfy its obligations for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of the financial statements even in the event the Company does not resume cruise voyages during that period.
+Added: The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s liquidity is a critical audit matter are the significant judgment by management when developing their liquidity analysis;
+Added: this in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s liquidity analysis, including the assumptions related to (i) ongoing operating costs during the suspension of cruise voyages;
+Added: (ii) liquidity requirements for financing costs;
+Added: (iii) capital expenditures and (iv) management’s ability to implement cash conservation strategies.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements.

+Added: Description of Business
We are a leading global cruise company which operates the Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises brands.

−Removed: Seven Seas Splendor was delivered in January 2020.
−Removed: We refer you to Note 18 – “Subsequent Events” for additional information.
−Removed: We have one additional Explorer Class Ship on order for delivery in the fall of 2023.
−Removed: We have two Allura Class Ships on order for delivery in the winter of 2022 and spring of 2025.
−Removed: Project Leonardo will introduce an additional six ships with expected delivery dates through 2027.

−Removed: Norwegian commenced operations from Miami in 1966.
−Removed: In February 2011, NCLH, a Bermuda limited company, was formed with the issuance to the Sponsors of, in aggregate, 10,000 ordinary shares, with a par value of $ 0.001 per share.
−Removed: In January 2013, NCLH completed its IPO and the ordinary shares of NCLC, all of which were owned by the Sponsors, were exchanged for the ordinary shares of NCLH, and NCLH became the owner of 100 % of the ordinary shares and parent company of NCLC (the “Corporate Reorganization”).
−Removed: At the same time, NCLH contributed $ 460.0 million to NCLC and the historical financial statements of NCLC became those of NCLH.
−Removed: The Corporate Reorganization was affected solely for the purpose of reorganizing our corporate structure.
−Removed: As a result of the Secondary Equity Offerings, as of December 2018, the Sponsors no longer owned the ordinary shares they held in NCLH.
−Removed: In November 2014, we completed the Acquisition of Prestige.
−Removed: We believe that the combination of Norwegian and Prestige creates a cruise operating company with a rich product portfolio and strong market presence.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
+Added: Liquidity and Management’s Plan
+Added: Due to the continued spread of COVID-19, growing travel restrictions and limited access to ports around the world, in March 2020, the Company implemented a voluntary suspension of all cruise voyages across its three brands.
+Added: As of the date of this filing and through at least May 31, 2021, all cruise voyages remain suspended.
+Added: Significant events affecting travel, including COVID-19, typically have an impact on demand for cruise vacations, with the full extent of the impact generally determined by the length of time the event influences travel decisions.
+Added: We believe the ongoing effects of COVID-19 on our operations and global bookings have had, and will continue to have, a significant impact on our financial results and liquidity, and such negative impact may continue well beyond the containment of the pandemic.
+Added: We continue to expect a gradual phased relaunch of our ships after the voyage suspension period, with our ships initially operating at reduced occupancy levels.
+Added: The timing for bringing our ships back to service and the percentage of our fleet in service will depend on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the duration and extent of the COVID-19 pandemic, further resurgences and new variants of COVID-19, the availability, distribution, and efficacy of vaccines and therapeutics for COVID-19, our ability to comply with governmental regulations, port availability, travel restrictions, bans and advisories, and our ability to re-staff our ships and implement new health and safety protocols.
+Added: The estimation of our future cash flow projections includes numerous assumptions that are subject to various risks and uncertainties.
+Added: Upon the relaunch of cruise voyages, our principal assumptions for future cash flow projections include:
+Added: ● Expected gradual phased relaunch at reduced occupancy levels;
+Added: ● Forecasted cash collections primarily upon completion of future voyages and the payment of cash refunds for any further cancellations, in accordance with the terms of our credit card processing agreements (see Note 13 - “Commitments and Contingencies”);
+Added: ● Expected incremental expenses for resumption of cruise voyages, including the maintenance of and compliance with additional health and safety protocols.
+Added: Due to the unknown duration and extent of the COVID-19 pandemic, travel restrictions, bans and advisories, uncertainties around our ability to comply with governmental regulations, the potential unavailability of ports and/or destinations, voyage cancellations and timing of redeployments, and a general impact on consumer sentiment regarding cruise travel, we cannot predict when we will relaunch voyages or when our full fleet will be back in service at historical occupancy levels.
+Added: Until we are able to begin our phased relaunch, our projected liquidity requirements reflect our principal assumptions surrounding ongoing operating costs during the suspension of cruise voyages, as well as liquidity requirements for financing costs and necessary capital expenditures, and our ability to continue to implement cash conservation strategies, including, but not limited to:
+Added: ● Moving our ships to minimum manning levels, which we expect would result in further reductions in crew payroll costs, fuel consumption, and maintenance costs;
+Added: ● Further reductions in general operating expenses;
+Added: ● Further reductions in discretionary capital expenditures including cancellation or reduction in scope of certain Dry-docks.
+Added: Subsequent to December 31, 2020 further actions, including debt principal payment deferrals and deferral of ship milestone payments, were taken to bolster our financial condition.
+Added: See Note 8 – “Long-Term Debt” and Note 13 - “Commitments and Contingencies” disclosure for further information.
+Added: We cannot make assurances that our assumptions used to estimate our liquidity requirements may not change because we have never experienced a complete cessation of our cruise voyages.
+Added: Accordingly, the full effect of our suspension of cruise voyages on our financial performance and financial condition cannot be quantified at this time.
+Added: We have made reasonable estimates and judgments of the impact of COVID-19 within our financial statements and there may be material changes to those estimates in future periods.
+Added: We expect to report a net loss for at least the quarter ending March 31, 2021, and likely expect to report a net loss until we are able to resume voyages, including for the year ending December 31, 2021.
+Added: Based on these actions and assumptions regarding the impact of COVID-19, and considering our available liquidity including cash and cash equivalents of $ 3.3 billion at December 31, 2020, we have concluded that after implementing the above cash conservation strategies, we have sufficient liquidity to satisfy our obligations for at least the next twelve months even in the event we do not resume cruise voyages during that period.
+Added: Subsequent to the liquidity assessment period (twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements), the Company will require additional liquidity to meet ongoing obligations, including debt amortization payments and ship milestone payments, of approximately $ 560 million that are due in April 2022, in order to maintain its minimum liquidity covenant requirements.
+Added: The Company plans to take additional steps following the issuance of these financial statements to increase its liquidity, which may include additional debt and/or equity financing and potential further renegotiations of its debt amortization payments, newbuild payments and covenants.
+Added: The extent of these actions to increase the Company’s liquidity will be dependent in part on the timing of the resumption of cruise voyages, which is uncertain.
+Added: There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in generating the additional liquidity necessary to meet its obligations beyond twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.
+Added: If the Company is unable to maintain or renegotiate its minimum liquidity covenant requirements, it could have a significant adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results.

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment, based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
−Removed: Assets are grouped and

+Added: Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets.
+Added: For ship impairment analyses, the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of other assets and liabilities is each individual ship.
We consider historical performance and future estimated results in our evaluation of potential impairment and then compare the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset.
−Removed: If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, we measure the amount of the impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value.
+Added: If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, we measure the amount of the impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value.
We estimate fair value based on the best information available utilizing estimates, judgments and projections as necessary.
Our estimate of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows at discount rates commensurate with the associated risk.
−Removed: Goodwill and Tradenames
−Removed: Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired.
−Removed: Goodwill and other indefinite-lived assets, principally tradenames, are reviewed for impairment on an annual basis or earlier if there is an event or change in circumstances that would indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be fully recoverable.
−Removed: We use the Step 0 Test which allows us to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (i.e., more than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value.
−Removed: For tradenames we also provide a qualitative assessment to determine if there is any indication of impairment.
+Added: Goodwill and Trade Names
+Added: Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired.
+Added: Goodwill and other indefinite-lived assets, principally trade names, are reviewed for impairment on December 31 or earlier if there is an event or change in circumstances that would indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be fully recoverable.

● Decline in share price (in both absolute terms and relative to peers).
−Removed: We also may conduct a quantitative assessment comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill.
−Removed: This is called the Step I Test which consists of a combined approach using discounted future cash flows and market multiples to determine the fair value of the reporting units.
−Removed: The market approach considers revenue and EBITDA multiples from an appropriate peer group.
−Removed: Our discounted cash flow valuation reflects our principal assumptions of 1) forecasted future operating results and growth rates, 2) forecasted capital expenditures for fleet growth and ship improvements and 3) a weighted average cost of capital of market participants, adjusted for an optimal capital structure.
−Removed: We believe that the combined approach is the most representative method to assess fair value as it utilizes expectations of long-term growth as well as current market conditions.
−Removed: For the tradenames, we may also use a quantitative assessment, which utilizes the relief from royalty method and includes the same forecasts and discount rates from the discounted cash flow valuation in the goodwill assessment along with a tradename royalty rate assumption.
+Added: We also may conduct a quantitative assessment comparing the estimated fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill.
+Added: This is called the Step 1 Test which uses discounted future cash flows and other market data to determine the estimated fair value of the reporting units.
+Added: Our discounted cash flow valuation reflects our principal
+Added: assumptions of 1) forecasted future operating results and growth rates, which have been prepared under multiple scenarios and are probability weighted, 2) forecasted capital expenditures for fleet growth and ship improvements and 3) a weighted average cost of capital of market participants.
+Added: Historically, our Step 1 Test consisted of a combined approach using discounted future cash flows and market multiples to determine the estimated fair value of the reporting units.
+Added: However, beginning with the Step 1 Test performed as of March 31, 2020 as a result of triggering events, the market multiples were used solely as a corroboratory approach given the impact of COVID-19 on the current year’s results, as of the valuation date, as well as prospective results including the lack of any guidance provided, which were not available for our peers.
+Added: We believe that this approach is the most representative method to estimate fair value as it utilizes expectations of long-term growth as well as current market conditions.

+Added: however, a change in our estimated future operating cash flows may result in a decline in estimated fair value in future periods, which may result in a need to recognize additional impairment charges.
+Added: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets of all other financial assets and liabilities approximate fair value.
