What's Going On With Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Stock Today?

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd NCLH shares are trading higher Tuesday after the company reported better-than-expected financial results and issued guidance.

Norwegian said occupancy improved to 82% in the quarter. Total revenue per passenger cruise day increased to approximately 14% in the third quarter compared to the same period in 2019, driven by strong ticket pricing and onboard revenue generation.
