Shares of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. will move from
the Nasdaq exchange to the New York Stock Exchange on Dec. 19.
Companies with shares listed on the NYSE are generally
larger and more established than on Nasdaq, although some very large technology
companies such as Apple Inc. continue to trade on Nasdaq.
Norwegian will join Carnival Corp. and Royal Caribbean
Cruises Ltd., which already trade on the NYSE. Norwegian will keep its
four-letter trading symbol NCLH on the new exchange.
"This move marks the latest initiative in our
continuous drive to increase our company's profile in the marketplace,"
Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings CEO Frank Del Rio said.
Norwegian went public in 2013 at $19 a share. Friday morning
shares were quoted a bit above $55.
