Royal Caribbean Cruises Chairman and CEO Richard Fain was the highest paid executive at a publicly-traded cruise company in 2017, for the second year in a row, according to SEC filings.

The reveal came following SEC filings detailing 2017 executive compensation from Royal Caribbean Cruises, Carnival Corporation, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings and Lindblad Expeditions.

Fain was paid $13.3 million in 2017, up from $10.4 million the year prior, as Royal Caribbean rocketed to a record earnings year.
