Cruise Market
Market overview
The cruise industry in Europe is booming, with passenger counts and cruise calls setting new records. Lines are now deploying more berths on the Continent than ever before, with the number of ships undertaking European itineraries growing. Next to the Caribbean, the regions of the North/Baltic and Mediterranean seas are already the world’s favorite cruise destinations.
European ports are thriving, more than 2.8 million passengers embarked on their cruises from a European port in 2007, with the most popular destinations being the Mediterranean and the Baltic Sea. The number of calls in Northern Europe is rising steadily, by about 10 to 15 percent per year.
“Europe is the fastest growing source market for cruise passengers in the world right now, and 2007 will see more ships, more passengers and more brands visiting more European ports than ever before” said Christopher Hayman, Managing Director of Seatrade.
Needs
The cruise industry currently beams with confidence, even if some threats occurs. The September 11 attack n 2001 had a disastrous effect on cruise sales. Moreover sales volume are entirely up to an innovative approach in marketing and selling the product.
