A leading cruise industry analyst has increased price targets for the three listed major cruise shipping groups, a media report said

Robin Farley, analyst at UBS Securities in New York raised its price target for Carnival Corporation by 110% from $20 to $42 per share, which represents an approximate 45% upside from its actual current share price, a report on The Motley Fool, the investor website, said.

“UBS kept its ratings the same for Royal Caribbean (Cruises Limited) at buy and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings at neutral. However, it upped its price target for both companies, bumping its Norwegian price target upward 52.4% from $21 to $32 per share, and raising Royal Caribbean 46.8% from $79 to $116,” the report stated.
