Key facts
- Leading global cruise company streamlines its global payments
acquiring and processing services by choosing Worldpay from FIS as
a preferred payments processing provider.
- Norwegian will also use Worldpay value-added services including
customer authentication and advanced data analytics.
As vacation travel picks back up across the globe, Norwegian
Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (“Norwegian”) (NYSE: NCLH) is enhancing
the payments experience for its customers by choosing Worldpay from
FIS® (NYSE: FIS) as one of its preferred payments processing
providers globally.
Norwegian is one of the world’s largest cruise companies,
operating the award-winning Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises
and Regent Seven Seas Cruises brands. The company was looking to
streamline its global payments acquiring and processing services
while accelerating online and mobile checkouts, maximizing payment
authorizations and ensuring compliance with PSD2 Strong Customer
Authentication (SCA) requirements.
Norwegian selected Worldpay because of its global reach for both
acquiring and payments acceptance in more than 100 countries around
the world. The company will also leverage Worldpay’s value-added
services. For transactions affected by PSD2, the company will
utilize FIS’ 3DS Flex, which is an innovative solution to increase
issuer approvals and minimize friction at checkout. Norwegian will
also improve authorization rates with advanced data analysis using
the company’s Pazien solution as well as FIS Prime PIN and PIN-less
debit card routing to reduce costs associated with debit card
purchases.
“We are excited to welcome Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings as a
new Worldpay client,” said Jim Johnson, Head of Merchant Solutions
at FIS. “This is a great match of two global leaders that are
passionate about using technology in innovative ways to provide a
top-notch customer journey whether online or at sea. We look
forward to helping Norwegian achieve its business goals and
continue its growth.”
“At Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings our guests come first, which
is why we are focused on enhancing and innovating every aspect of
the guest experience, starting from the moment they book their
cruise,” said Mark A. Kempa, executive vice president and chief
financial officer of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd.
“Worldpay’s global footprint and deep expertise in the travel and
hospitality industry were paramount in our decision to work with
them as a preferred payments partner. This partnership will allow
us to continue to provide our valued guests with a secure,
convenient payment experience.”
