In response to the continued rise in oil prices, NCL Corporation announced today an increase to its current fuel supplement.  The new fuel supplement will be $9 per person per day for the first and second guests in a stateroom and $4 per person per day for any additional guests in the same stateroom, based on the guidelines below.

Individual reservations

The increased fuel supplement applies only to new individual reservations made on or after May 1, 2008.

Group reservations

The increased fuel supplement applies to any group reservation booked on or after May 1, 2008.  The increased fuel supplement will also apply to group space held prior to May 1, 2008 without specific names and full confirming deposit by April 30, 2008.

“With crude oil and refined product prices at record highs, our fuel bill stands at a level that was unimaginable two years ago,” said Colin Veitch, NCL’s president and CEO.  “It is unfortunate, but necessary, that we now have to pass some of the increase in our fuel bill on to our customers, just as many other businesses are being forced to do. We appreciate the understanding of our travel partners and our guests as we make this necessary adjustment.”
