Cruise ship holidays of the FUTURE: What to expect in 2018

More adventurous

According to Adventure Travel Trade Association (ATTA), adventure travel has grown 65 per cent in the last five years which has impacted the cruise industry.

Forgetting cruises with beaches and luxury resorts, instead it is five star tours of Alaska, or glacier explorations.

Younger solo travellers

Whilst the older generation and married couples are perhaps more the clientele people may imagine go cruising, this is starting to shift much younger.

Nearly half of cruise passengers are under 50 years old, according to Andy, such many ships now catering to guests who are between 21 and 45.

The launch of Uniworld’s millennial cruise further proves the drive for a young guest experience, as well as Virgin cruises new announcement.

Not only that, but more people are travelling on their own, with ROL Cruise revealing a 20 per cent increase in guests who go by themselves.
