Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd, which is set to resume sailing from U.S. ports over the weekend, said it was seeing pent-up demand for 2022 cruises even as it reported a bigger quarterly loss on Friday.

When the first cruise ship since the start of the pandemic sailed through the Venice lagoon last month, hundreds of people rallied on land and small boats in protest. A few weeks later, the government seemed to listen, announcing that to defend Venice’s ecosystem and heritage, cruise liners would be banned from the lagoon from Aug. 1.
