Royal Caribbean enters $-denominated credit agreement for sixth Edge-class ship financing

Neutral Impact 3 of 5 financing Written later

Royal Caribbean signed a June 25, 2025 credit agreement to finance its sixth Edge-class ship, scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2028. The US dollar term loan is 100% guaranteed by BpiFrance Assurance Export and bears interest at Term SOFR plus 0.85%, which adds a long-dated debt obligation that shareholders will track as the ship is delivered.

Key points

  • Credit Agreement dated June 25, 2025 finances the sixth Edge-class ship, delivery scheduled for Q4 2028
  • Term loan guaranteed 100% by BpiFrance Assurance Export, France's official export credit agency
  • Floating interest at Term SOFR plus 0.85% per annum; loan amortizes semi-annually and matures twelve years after delivery
  • Loan becomes available upon acceptance and delivery of the ship and is assigned to the Company at that point
