Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings stock:

The company markets its services primarily through retail/travel agents. Norwegian Cruise Line is headquartered in Miami, Florida. " (8/16/2017)
• 2. Stifel Nicolaus analysts commented, "As expected, management's formal 2017 guidance and forward-looking business commentary, as articulated on today's call, painted two distinctly different pictures. Investors clearly preferred to draw their own conclusions from the latter, as evidenced by the surge in NCLH's share price over the duration of the call. In squaring the two outlooks, we sense guidance reflects management's best estimates as it relates to the entirety of business on the books for 2017 at this point, whereas the commentary focused heavily on the trends witnessed over the past eight weeks. Clearly, provided the business remains on current trend, there appears to be considerable upside to current guidance, particularly with respect to the summer 2017 European program." (2/23/2017)
