Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. amended its two unsecured revolving credit facilities on May 14, 2025, increasing commitments by $2.28 billion to a combined $6.35 billion and extending one facility's maturity from October 2026 to October 2030. The amendments also allow the company to raise total capacity to up to $8.35 billion under certain conditions, including receiving additional or increased lender commitments, which gives the company more borrowing capacity for shareholders to weigh against its debt obligations.

  • The facility maturing in October 2026 now matures in October 2030; the other facility still matures in October 2028.
  • Total capacity can increase to up to $8.35 billion under certain conditions, including additional or increased lender commitments.
