Note 7. Leases
Operating Leases
Our operating leases primarily relate to preferred berthing arrangements, real estate and shipboard equipment, and are included within Operating lease right-of-use assets, and Long-term operating lease liabilities with the current portion of the liability included within Current portion of operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on our consolidated balance sheet. We recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Our operating leases include Silver Explorer, operated by Silversea Cruises. The operating lease for Silver Explorer will expire in 2023.
For some of our real estate leases and berthing agreements, we do have the option to extend our current lease term. For those lease agreements with renewal options, the renewal periods for real estate leases range from one to 10 years and the renewal periods for berthing agreements range from one to 20 years. Generally, we do not include renewal options as a component of our present value calculation for berthing agreements. However, for certain real estate leases, we include them.
As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. We estimate our incremental borrowing rates based on LIBOR and U.S. Treasury note rates corresponding to lease terms increased by the Company’s credit risk spread and reduced by the estimated impact of collateral. In addition, we have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. However, for berthing agreements, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.
Finance Leases
In June 2019, the Company entered into a new master lease agreement (“Master Lease”) with Miami-Dade County related to the buildings and surrounding land located at its Miami headquarters, which has been classified as a finance lease in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. In January of 2022, we executed a modification to the Master Lease to extend the expiration of the lease from 2072 to 2074, which continues to include the two five-year options to extend the lease. We continue to consider the probability of exercising the two five-year options as reasonably certain. The modification of the Master Lease did not change the classification of the lease. The total aggregate amount of the finance lease liabilities recorded for this Master Lease are $100.3 million and $127.0 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Silversea Cruises operates Silver Dawn under a sale-leaseback agreement with a bargain purchase option at the end of the 15-year lease term. Due to the bargain purchase option at the end of the lease term in 2036, whereby Silversea Cruises is reasonably certain of obtaining ownership of the ship, Silver Dawn is accounted for as a finance lease. The lease includes other purchase options beginning in year three, none of which are reasonably certain of being exercised at this time. The total aggregate amount of finance lease liabilities recorded for this ship are $279.0 million and $283.7 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Silversea Cruises operates the Silver Whisper under a finance lease. The finance lease for Silver Whisper will expire in 2023, subject to an option to purchase the ship. Additionally, certain scheduled payments have been deferred and are reflected in Long-term debt in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The total aggregate amount of the finance lease liabilities recorded for this ship was $16.6 million and $24.1 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The lease payments on the Silver Whisper are subject to adjustments based on the LIBOR rate.
The carrying amounts of these ships are reported within Property and equipment, net in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
