Cruise lines are engaging in negotiations with the Mexican government over a new passenger tax set to go into effect on July 1, 2025. This new tax could result in increased trip prices for cruise passengers. The government is in discussions with major operators, including Royal Caribbean and other companies, regarding the implementation and impact of this tax. Such taxes can directly affect the cost structure for cruise lines operating in the region. For Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, new taxes in popular destinations like Mexico could influence pricing strategies and potentially impact consumer demand for itineraries calling at Mexican ports. This represents a regulatory challenge that could affect revenue and profitability.
