Global Cruise Market Report: 2011 Edition

May 12, 2011 - PRLog -- Cruise voyages, primarily undertaken for recreation and leisure, form an important part of the leisure industry. Cruise industry is mainly characterized by its exceptional value proposition, low market penetration levels, wide appeal, high guest satisfaction rates and favorable supply-demand imbalance. In the past years, all the volume indicators of the cruise industry, including the cruise capacity, passengers carried, number of ships or cruises, and Available Lower Berths managed to witness a positive growth, despite the global economic crisis. Cruise industry revenue, on its part had shown a decline in the recessionary conditions due to declined onboard spending by the cruise vacationers. The cruise industry has also been a huge contributor to the economic benefits to the associated regions.

In order to attract the vacationers for cruising, the cruise lines are increasing the onboard facilities, some of them include full-scale seagoing aquaparks, luxury spas with exclusive spa suites, increasing choice and flexibility in dining, and facilities, including pools and recreation areas dedicated to adults, teens or children, Wi-Fi capabilities to help passengers stay connected while on cruise.

North America is the largest cruise market worldwide and alone holds more than half of the cruise market. As the North American cruise industry tends towards maturity, the second largest cruise market Europe is likely to offer potential for growth.
