- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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.”
- “In an effort to avoid a third year of disruption and so that the Company can continue to focus on forward scheduling, it has been decided to avoid the Red Sea in winter 2025 and to instead offer the West African coast to approach the Cape of Good Hope and the Indian Ocean.”
- “The Russian invasion of Ukraine continues to present the Company 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, which all make scheduling more of a challenge.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
