The Group is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations, primarily related to changes in USD/EUR exchange rates, related to its operations.

In 2023, the Group entered into forward foreign currency contracts to purchase €470.0 million at an average euro to USD exchange rate of 1.09. The forward foreign currency contracts matured at various dates in 2024 and were designated as cash flow hedges for the majority of the Group’s highly probable forecasted expenditures denominated in euros for direct costs of cruise, land and onboard and vessel operating expenses in 2024.

In 2024, the Group entered into forward foreign currency contracts to purchase €970.0 million at an average euro to USD exchange rate of 1.10. The forward foreign currency contracts mature at various dates in 2025 and 2026, and were designated as cash flow hedges for the majority of the Group’s highly probable forecasted expenditures denominated in euros for direct costs of cruise, land and onboard and vessel operating expenses in 2025 and 2026.

An economic relationship exists between the hedged items and the hedging instruments as the terms of the forward foreign currency contracts match the terms of the highly probable forecast transactions.
