Turnover and earnings

Due to the high-quality of the products, average turnover per day also rose again year-on-year. Total turnover stood at € 58 million, a substantial increase of 16.2% year-on-year.

Business development
In the first quarter of 2008, Hapag-Lloyd Kreuzfahrten bookings developed positively. The sustained rise in passenger volumes led to an increase in occupancy of the ships. The ‘Hanseatic’ and ‘Bremen’, in particular, reported satisfactory growth both in booking volumes and rates.
