Our first pillar focuses on maximizing revenue generation through occupancy pricing and deployment optimization. I'm proud to update you on our progress across multiple initiatives in this area. Our relationships with Disney continues to expand our reach through broader distribution to broader audiences. contributing to strong performance across key channels. As an example, bookings from earmarked Disney travel agents increased 35% for the full year. Our onboard expedition sales program rollout resulted in nearly three times as many bookings in 2025 compared to 2024. Importantly, the percentage of guests booking within 30 days from a voyage has doubled since the launch of the program, leading to expanded booking course and higher repeat rate. Our outbound sales program gained significant traction with sales increasing 97% for the full year. We continue to see this as a high potential channel that is in its early stages. Our online bookings increased 52% year over year fueled by strong demand generation through our National Geographic Partnership, as well as significant enhancements to our web platform. Our extension revenues increased 45% for the year. We are pleased that we are seeing customers take full advantage of our full range of expedition offerings as they travel with us.

International expansion continues to be a focus for us, and I just returned from the UK, where we hosted a brand introduction event on board the National Geographic Endurance, one of the most advanced and luxurious purpose-built expedition ships in the world. The UK represents a very attractive market for us given its fast-growing adventure travel segment and large addressable market.

In addition, we will target Disney audiences through direct mail, reaching new guest prospects.
