Royal Caribbean Stock Drops as Cost of Newest Ship Seen Impacting Profit
Key Takeaways Royal Caribbean said its current-quarter profit is expected to be negatively impacted by charges associated with its newest ship. The cruise line operator anticipates net cruise costs to rise because of the timing of the delivery of its Star of the Seas as well as cost timing shift from the second quarter. The news offset better-than-expected second quarter profit on an increase in passengers Caribbean Group (RCL) shares fell 5% Tuesday when the cruise line operator issued a worse-than-expected outlook on higher costs for its newest ship. The company sees current-quarter adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $5.55 to $5.65, while analysts surveyed by Visible Alpha were looking for $5.83. It anticipates net cruise costs, excluding fuel, per available passenger cruise days will be up 6.4% to 6.9%, with about 230 basis points of that "attributable to the timing of delivery of Star of the Seas, and the cost timing shift from the second quarter." The outlook offset strong second-quarter profit. Royal Caribbean posted adjusted EPS of $4.38, while the consensus Visible Alpha estimate called for $4.10. Revenue rose 10% year-over-year to $4.54 billion, just short of forecasts. Capacity was up nearly 6%, and the number of passengers carried increased 10% to 2.3 million. The company noted that bookings jumped since the Q1 earnings report, especially for close-in sailings, which boosted results. "Demand for our portfolio of brands and our industry-leading experiences continues to accelerate," CEO Jason Liberty said. Even with today's drop, Royal Caribbean Group shares are still about 45% higher year-to-date. Read the original article on Investopedia

First look as Royal Caribbean takes delivery of latest mega cruise ship Star of the Seas
Royal Caribbean is getting closer to welcoming passengers onto its newest cruise ship, Star of The Seas, after it was officially welcomed into the fleet last week. The latest Icon class ship was handed over to the cruise line after almost two years of construction at the Meyer Turku shipyard in Turku, Finland. Construction started in February 2023 and the ship completed sea trails in May 2025. A ceremony was held at the shipyard last week with more than 1,250 crew members and partners to honour the team of engineers, designers and architects who built the ship and helped install key features such as the 327-ton glass-and-steel AquaDome and six record-breaking waterslides. Star of the Seas will now make its way from Turku to Cadiz, Spain, where Royal Caribbean will add the finishing touches before its August debut in Port Canaveral, Florida, when new godmother Diana Ross will christen it. With a gross tonnage of 248,633, Star of the Seas will be the same size as its sister ship, Icon of the Seas, making them the joint largest cruise ships in the world. The vessel will have similar features to Icon of the Seas, such as an ice rink, rock climbing wall, and the surfside neighbourhood, plus giant waterparks and slides on board. There are unique elements being introduced to Star of the Seas, including three new foodstands in its AquaDome Market, serving smoky pulled pork and beef brisket, Southeast Asian regional favourites such as pad thai and panang curry and South American staples including empañadas and arepas. The brand's speciality Lincoln Park Supper Club is also being refreshed, serving intimate meals with live entertainment in a 1930s Chicago-inspired setting. Michael Bayley, president and chief executive of Royal Caribbean, said: 'We're incredibly proud to welcome Star of the Seas to the Royal Caribbean family as we continue to revolutionise how families and adventurers vacation. 'It's a true team effort with so many talented individuals coming together to make the new Icon Class vacation a reality, and we're excited to debut this incredible achievement with a star-studded celebration this August.'
