The cleanest answer to: are we ahead or behind by June-end baseline?
How are we doing compared with last year?
By the June-end checkpoint, 26/27 is essentially level with 25/26 on booking count: 409 bookings vs 272 last year (+50%). Passengers are +78% and booked net is +59% ahead, so the current order book is slightly more valuable even though booking count is a touch behind.
Comparison basis
Early partner groups make this move faster than booking count.
Value currently on the books, before the season has started.
Quick read
Booking count is nearly flat. The order book has 137 more bookings than last year had by the June-end checkpoint. The better signal is value: booked net is €481K higher at the same checkpoint.
Why this changed
The earlier same-lead snapshot showed 409 vs 266 bookings (+54%), but it cut last season at 2025-06-29. That misses later June bookings, so the June-end checkpoint is the safer management view. 26/27 is still a live pipeline and includes active reservations, so this is a pace view, not a final-season forecast.
