Cruising is back nearly three years since it was shut down when the COVID-19 crisis was declared a global pandemic and social distancing became the norm. While many aspects remain the same some things have changed, at least in terms of what travelers want out of their cruise experience in 2023.
Online cruise marketplace CruiseCompete.com recently released its monthly CruiseTrends report for February 2023, revealing the most in-demand cruise lines, ships, destinations, ports, cabin types, itinerary lengths and more across a trio of segments, including premium, luxury and river cruising. Consumers request an average of more than 25,000 cruise quotes per month via CruiseCompete so the data paints an accurate picture of what travelers are seeking out this winter.
Here are a dozen notable booking trends to be aware of this wave season.
