    NCL Corporation upsizes senior notes offering to $950M at 8.750% due 2031

    Question

    NCL Corporation upsizes senior notes offering to $950M at 8.750% due 2031

    Direct answer

    Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings operating unit NCL Corporation successfully priced an upsized $950 million senior bond offering carrying an 8.750% coupon with maturity in 2031. Strong primary appetite allowed the company to expand the tranche from an initial $750 million target. The capital proceeds will be deployed immediately to retire notes maturing in 2028 and clear $376 million in outstanding balances on its revolving credit facility. The transaction clears near-term maturity cliffs while establishing a baseline refinancing cost in the high-yield travel sector.
