COMPANY DESCRIPTION

Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. is one of the world's largest cruise vacation companies, operating global brands including Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises, and Silversea Cruises. The company's competitive moat is defined by its massive scale, proprietary port destinations like Perfect Day at CocoCay, and a fleet of technologically advanced, high-capacity mega-ships. It operates as a dominant player in the global leisure travel industry, benefiting from high barriers to entry due to the capital-intensive nature of shipbuilding.
