The level of quality, variety and innovation available throughout our fleet has never been greater and our guests are reaping the benefits of truly exceptional vacation values. We are working to more broadly communicate that message through stepped up consumer and trade marketing efforts, as well as strengthened engagement of our travel agent partners. We believe these initiatives,combined with slower supply growth, will lead to increased yields." "In addition, we remain focused on reducing our fuel dependence. By year end, we will achieve a 23 percent cumulative reduction in fuel consumption since 2005 and expect our research and development efforts in fuel saving technologies to continue to bear fruit. We have strengthened our management teams in maritime and technical ship operations and product delivery, as well as marketing and communications. We expect the combination of these efforts will drive improved return on invested capital over time."

Daily Mail & General trust increases the 2013 interim dividend by 5%
Dividend increased by 5%Outlook for the full year unchangedMartin Morgan, Chief Executive, said:"We have delivered a good underlying performance in the first half reflectingthe strength of our B2B companies and the resilience of our national consumertitles. As expected, reported operating profit increased despite a decline inreported revenue resulting from recent disposals.Our international B2B companies have increased their underlying revenues andprofits* by 6% and 5% respectively. Our UK consumer business, dmg media,continued to experience challenging conditions and underlying revenues wereslightly down, although the increase in digital revenues more than offset thedecline in print advertising revenues and the business delivered a 7%underlying increase in operating profit*.We have continued to actively manage our portfolio of businesses and have madeseveral acquisitions and disposals during the period and into the second half,to improve the overall quality and growth prospects of the Group.Relative to last year, the first half of the year benefited from the timing ofbiennial events and the absence of a bond redemption premium. Conversely weexpect the comparatives in the second half of the year to be adverselyimpacted by the timing of biennial events and the Olympics, which were one-offbenefits for us in the second half of the last financial year. Overall, theoutlook for the full year remains unchanged."
