to build two ships of a new generation of Royal
Caribbean International cruise ships, known as
Project Sunshine.” The ships will each have a
capacity of approximately 4,100 berths and are
expected to enter service in the third quarter of 2014
and in the second quarter of 2015, respectively. To
finance the ships, we entered into credit agreements
for each ship which make available to us 12-year
unsecured amortizing term loans in an amount up
to the United States dollar equivalent corresponding
to approximately €595.0 million, which are 95%
guaranteed by Hermes.

a determination that we will not exercise our right to
cancel the lease. Thus, the lease will continue until at
least 2020 when both parties again have the right to
cancel the lease. Refer to our lease discussion under
the heading Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements below
and Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies to
our consolidated financial statements under Item 8.

connection with our purchase of Celebrity Solstice
was assigned from Celebrity Solstice Inc., our sub-
sidiary which owns the ship, to Royal Caribbean
Cruises Ltd. Similar assignments were simultaneously
made from the ship-owning subsidiary level to Royal
Caribbean Cruises Ltd. for the facilities relating to
Celebrity Equinox, Celebrity Eclipse and Celebrity
Silhouette and for the credit agreement relating to
Celebrity Reflection, expected to be delivered in
the fourth quarter of 2012. Other than the change
in borrower, the economic terms of these facilities
remain unchanged. These amended facilities each
contain covenants substantially similar to the cove-
nants, in our other parent-level ship financing agree-
ments and our revolving credit facilities.
