While the entire travel industry was hit hard by the effects of the Pandemic, the cruise sector ended up being the focus of a lot of criticism. Evidence of its recovery is encouraging now that people have traveled again. A new study suggests that cruising is coming back in a big way.
According to the results of a survey, the majority of US travelers will take a cruise in the next two years. They are not waiting for the wave season to arrive before booking those voyages.
American travelers who have been on a cruise in the past were asked by the travel insurance provider if they wanted to go on a cruise. When asked if they were going to go on a cruise within the next two years, 96.1 percent of respondents said yes, while only 1.1 percent said no and the remaining 2.8 percent were not sure.
Travelers are once again feeling comfortable cruising according to the results of the survey. During the Pandemic, the cruise industry was hit hard. The cruise industry is bouncing back after a couple of rough years.
Cruise-goers tend to travel towards the end of the year. Americans are most likely to want to go on a cruise in September, October, November and December.
Travelers are shelling out more money for cruises now that economic inflation is high. The average cost of an insured cruise vacation is $6,362. Compare that to the average cost of a cruise in the year.
