Norwegian said it expects third-quarter revenue to be between $1.5 billion and $1.6 billion versus the estimate of $1.88 billion. Occupancy is expected to be in the low 80% range.
The company said it expects to report a net loss in the third quarter as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the effects of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and current macroeconomic conditions.
