Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings announced today that it is proposing to sell $790 million aggregate principal amount of its senior secured notes due 2029  in a private offering that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, according to a press release.

The Notes and the related guarantees will be secured by first-priority interests in, among other things and subject to certain agreed security principles, fourteen of our vessels that will also secure the company’s senior secured credit facility and the 8.375% senior secured notes due 2028.
