Cruise Operating Expenses
 
Cruise operating expenses represents direct expenses incurred with owning and operating our cruise ships. Cruise operating expenses decreased $2.0 million (1.6%) to $122.0 million in 2008. In 2008, due to a decrease in number of operating days and decease in number of passengers carried by the Majestic America vessels as compared to the prior year, cruise operating expenses decreased but were offset by the increase in cruise operating expenses for Windstar Cruises due to a full year of operations of Windstar Cruises in 2008 compared to only nine months of operations in 2007.
 
In 2008, we experienced high costs for fuel, freight and logistics all of which negatively impacted our cruise operating expenses. We expect cruise operating expenses related to Windstar Cruises to decrease in 2009 as a result of more normalized expenses related to fuel, freight and logistics.

Cruise Operating Expenses

Cruise operating expenses were $77.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $31.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase in cruise operating expenses is due to the increase in ships operated, passengers carried and overall ship operating days in 2007 compared to 2006. In addition, $23.4 million of the increase is due to the cruise operating expenses related to Windstar Cruises’ ships we acquired in April 2007.

We expect cruise operating expenses to remain at these higher levels for the remainder of 2007 compared to 2006 as a result of Windstar Cruises as well as the use of our Majestic America Line fleet.
