(a) | In 2013 and 2012, a portion of the North America cruise brands’ segment revenues includes revenues for the tour portion of a cruise when a land tour package is sold along with a cruise by Holland America Line and Princess. These intersegment tour revenues, which are included in our Tour and Other segment, are eliminated directly against the North America cruise brands’ segment revenues and operating expenses in the line “Intersegment elimination.”
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.” This change in 2012 from prior years is referred to as “the change in the accounting for our North America cruise brands and Tour and Other segments” and did not have a significant impact on either of these segments’ 2013, 2012 and 2011 operating income.
(b) | Includes $13 million in 2013 and $173 million in 2012 of impairment charges related to Ibero’s goodwill and trademarks.
(c) | Tour and Other segment assets primarily include hotels and lodges in the state of Alaska and the Canadian Yukon, motorcoaches used for sightseeing and charters, glass-domed railcars, which run on the Alaska Railroad, and our owned ships that we leased out under long-term charters to an unaffiliated entity.
