Royal Caribbean Group has launched its “Perfecta Program,” a bold new three-year financial initiative aimed at achieving continued exceptional performance. The program outlines two primary objectives to be accomplished by the close of 2027:

• A 20% compound annual growth rate in Adjusted Earnings per Share compared to 2024.
• A Return on Invested Capital in the high teens.

The company is committed to achieving these ambitious financial goals while prioritizing sustainable practices, delivering outstanding vacation experiences, and maintaining a strong investment-grade balance sheet. A key part of the strategy also includes a 15% or greater reduction in carbon intensity by 2024, reinforcing Royal Caribbean’s dedication to responsible and sustainable growth.

The introduction of the Perfecta Program builds upon the success of the company’s previous initiative, the Trifecta Program, which launched in 2022 and concluded 18 months ahead of schedule. With Perfecta, Royal Caribbean aims to continue its transformative journey with even more audacious targets, aligning the entire organization toward driving strong financial outcomes and creating lasting value for shareholders.

“The Perfecta Program sets a clear course for Royal Caribbean Group’s next ambitious ascent,” said Jason Liberty, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean Group. “It propels us forward with even greater ambition—driven by strategic execution, unmatched vacation experiences, and a relentless focus on innovation. As we drive towards delivering a lifetime of vacations and winning a greater share of the large and growing $2 trillion global vacation market, we remain committed to delivering exceptional value for our guests, employees and shareholders.”

To achieve the ambitious targets set by its new “Perfecta Program,” Royal Caribbean Group plans to leverage its proven strategy of balanced capacity growth, consistent yield increases, and strong cost management. The company has a dynamic portfolio of upcoming projects, including new ships and exclusive private destinations, set for delivery by 2027. These include Star of the Seas, Legend of the Seas, the fourth Icon Class ship, Celebrity Xcel, Perfect Day Mexico, and two Royal Beach Clubs in Nassau and Cozumel.

With an optimistic forecast for substantial cash flow over the next three years, Royal Caribbean remains committed to disciplined capital allocation. The company plans to strategically invest, offer competitive dividends, and pursue opportunistic share repurchases—while ensuring solid investment-grade financial metrics. Although share repurchases may be considered on an opportunistic basis, the company does not factor in potential repurchase impacts when setting its Perfecta Program goals. This calculated approach positions Royal Caribbean to maintain long-term financial health while driving growth and shareholder value.

“Together with our Perfecta goals, we remain committed to maintaining a strong balance sheet at a target leverage ratio below 3.0x,” said Naftali Holtz, chief financial officer, Royal Caribbean Group. “This aligns with our disciplined approach to capital allocation, ensuring we have the flexibility to invest in growth while continuing to deliver long term shareholder value.”
