Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd (NYSE: NCLH) shares are trading higher Tuesday after the company reported better-than-expected financial results and issued guidance.
What Happened: Norwegian reported third-quarter revenue of $1.6 billion, which beat average analyst estimates of $1.58 billion, according to Benzinga Pro. The company reported a quarterly net loss of 64 cents per share, which beat average analyst estimates for a loss of 70 cents per share.
Norwegian said occupancy improved to 82% in the quarter. Total revenue per passenger cruise day increased to approximately 14% in the third quarter compared to the same period in 2019, driven by strong ticket pricing and onboard revenue generation.

Norwegian expects full-year 2022 revenue to be between $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion versus average estimates of $1.46 billion. The company said it's on track to generate positive adjusted free cash flow in the fourth quarter.
