2018 Annual Report for Norwegian Cruiseline Holdings - 47

Future Capital Commitments
Future capital commitments consist of contracted commitments, including ship construction contracts, and future expected capital
expenditures necessary for operations as well as our ship refurbishment projects. As of December 31, 2018, anticipated capital expenditures
were $1.6 billion, $1.2 billion and $0.7 billion for the years ending December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. We have export credit
financing in place for the anticipated expenditures related to ship construction contracts of $0.6 billion, $0.5 billion and $0.2 billion for the
years ending December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. These future expected capital expenditures will significantly increase our
depreciation and amortization expense as we take delivery of the ships.
Project Leonardo will introduce an additional six ships, each approximately 140,000 Gross Tons with approximately 3,300 Berths, with
expected delivery dates from 2022 through 2027, subject to certain conditions. We have a Breakaway Plus Class Ship, Norwegian Encore,
with approximately 168,000 Gross Tons with 4,000 Berths, on order for delivery in the fall of 2019. For the Regent brand, we have orders for
two Explorer Class Ships, Seven Seas Splendor and an additional ship, to be delivered in 2020 and 2023, respectively. Each of the Explorer
Class Ships will be approximately 55,000 Gross Tons and 750 Berths. For the Oceania Cruises brand, we have orders for two Allura Class
Ships to be delivered in 2022 and 2025. Each of the Allura Class Ships will be approximately 67,000 Gross Tons and 1,200 Berths.
The combined contract prices of the 11 ships on order for delivery was approximately €7.9 billion, or $9.1 billion based on the euro/U.S.
dollar exchange rate as of December 31, 2018. We have obtained export credit financing which is expected to fund approximately 80% of the
contract price of each ship, subject to certain conditions. We do not anticipate any contractual breaches or cancellations to occur. However, if
any such events were to occur, it could result in, among other things, the forfeiture of prior deposits or payments made by us and potential
claims and impairment losses which may materially impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Capitalized interest for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 was $30.4 million, $29.0 million and $33.7 million, respectively,
primarily associated with the construction of our newbuild ships.
