The rising interest in our cruises indicates a strong market response to our services.
Additionally, our Average Cabin Revenue (ACR) has increased significantly, boasting a rise of over 15% when compared to October of the previous year. This growth in ACR, coupled with our total ticket revenue, which has seen an uplift of 12% year-on-year, showcases our ongoing commitment to enhancing the customer experience and maximizing revenue potential.
Booking Position for 2025
Looking ahead, our booking figures for 2025 are indicative of a robust demand for our offerings. Currently, we have successfully secured bookings for 71% of our total capacity for the year. This level of booking is particularly noteworthy, representing approximately 95% of our full-year target occupancy. Such early bookings not only reflect customer confidence in our services but also underline the effectiveness of our promotional strategies.
On top of that, we are excited to report that our ACR stands over 20% higher than this time last year, affirming our efforts in attracting and retaining customers with a compelling value proposition.
Looking Forward to 2026
As we venture into planning for 2026, our preliminary booking position is showing promising results as well: we have approximately 40% of our capacity booked for next year. This achievement is about 5% ahead of where we were at this point last year. We are targeting an ACR growth of 10-15% across all cabin categories, which will contribute to our ongoing revenue growth and enhance our EBITDA margins.
