Norwegian Cruise CEO Says Delta Had ‘Modest’ Bookings Impact

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Chief Executive Frank Del Rio said the Delta variant of Covid-19 has had a “modest” impact on bookings recently, although the sales had generally been improving.

“We have seen a modest decrease in our net new booking activity during the month of July when the Delta variant has surfaced,” Del Rio said in a conference call with investors.

He said he expected the impact to temporary.
