Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The year did not run entirely as planned, with the major cause of disruption being the Houthi threat to shipping in the Red Sea and the difficulty in accessing and operating within the Persian Gulf. For the second year the passage through Suez and the Red Sea was removed, which led to a rescheduled winter and spring season with the loss of well sold trips that visited Saudi Arabia, Oman and UAE.”
• “The outlook ahead continues to present challenges, principally the factors causing Red Sea transits to be an unlikely option in the short term and the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues to present the Group with some scheduling challenges, as does the recent conflict between India and Pakistan. There also continues to be a cooling of the market for Egyptian river cruises, a growing anti-cruise and tourism lobby in Europe, and the fast-changing weather patterns.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
