- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the Company or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the company's financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022; the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and the recent introduction of tariffs has created heightened global economic and political uncertainty. Whilst the situations continue, a number of potential risks have been identified that could impact the Company's ability to deliver on its strategy that will require close monitoring and an agile management response.”
- “The Company has published a full itinerary for 2025 and 2026 and the current advanced sales are in-line with the Directors' expectations. The Company continues to invest in increasing capacity on the river cruise ships through chartering additional vessels on long charters. The current contracts entered into are the Spirit of the Moselle, which will be delivered in 2025, and Spirit IV, which will be delivered in 2027.”
- “On 30 January 2025, the Group announced that it had agreed new credit facilities, comprising a £335.0m term loan facility, a £100.0m DDTL facility and a £50.0m RCF. The term loan facility and DDTL facility both mature on 29 January 2031 and the RCF matures on 29 July 2030. Subsequent to the year end, on 27 February 2025, the Group drew down the £335.0m term loan facility and utilised the proceeds to repay the £250.0m senior unsecured notes maturing in July 2026, and the £75.0m drawn under the £85.0m loan facility provided by Roger De Haan.”

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
