[1] | In 2011, a portion of Tour and Other segment revenues included revenues for the cruise portion of a tour when a cruise was sold along with a land tour package by Holland America Princess Alaska Tours. These intersegment cruise revenues, which were included in our North America cruise brands' segment, were eliminated directly against the Tour and Other segment revenues and operating expenses in the line "Intersegment elimination."
