How come more people are cruising?
Even in the depression it would seem that some businesses are doing really well and luxury cruise certainly seems to be one of them.
How on earth has cruising holidays seen a 5% increase this year? Cruises, the better ones anyway, are not cheap and with people taking pay cuts and other such things how on earth are they affording to go on wonderful cruises to anywhere in the world?
Perhaps it has taught people to save a bit more. People will save for many years just to go on a cruise and this is for many reasons.
The thing is, there are so many things to do on the ship which is why a lot of people like to go on vacation on the ship. It has brilliant fitness facilities, swimming pools, fine dining and of course shows to keep you amused during the evenings. This is all under the same roof which is brilliant. But with the depression effecting people this year does it look good for next year’s figures?
As of 2010 the increase is supposed to go up by another 6.5%. Of course this could be to do with brand new cruise ships that are coming out next year. The prices seem to be a lot better than they used to be. There are just so many deals out there for people to choose from. Due to all of these new companies starting up with new cruise ships it would seem the prices are going to decrease even further in the next few years. So now is the time to look for a cruise holiday, they are also very relaxing as you are free to do whatever you want, check out the pool, hit the gym or just relax in your cabin.
Of course the percentage increase is just estimation and we might not see as many people taking river cruises as well as cunard cruises like we first thought, however all we can really do is wait it out.
