This Is Why Royal Caribbean Is the Only Major Cruise Line Stock I Own
2025-11-10 07:15:00 ET
Until a few weeks ago, I was more than happy to own shares in all three of the major cruise line stocks . Royal Caribbean (NYSE: RCL) was my largest of the three positions, followed by Carnival (NYSE: CCL) and then Norwegian Cruise Line (NYSE: NCLH) . Today I am only a shareholder of Royal Caribbean.
This doesn't mean I don't dip my portfolio's feet in other sea-tackling players in this space. Disney (NYSE: DIS) is rapidly expanding its fleet of family-friendly ships. Viking (NYSE: VIK) is the undisputed leader in river cruises. Disney and Viking are among my 10 largest personal holdings. However, when it comes to the three largest publicly traded cruise line operators, I pared back my positions earlier this summer. I recently went on to cash out of Carnival and NCL entirely. Let's go over a couple of reasons Royal Caribbean is the only major cruise line stock I own right now.
