Consumers can weigh many factors when deciding on a cruise—port location and appeal being two.

The cruise sector is building strong momentum as this may be the year we will see the industry return to its total capacity before the pandemic, along with forecasts showing the 2026 figures potentially exceeding the pre-pandemic numbers by 30%, according to CLIA. #wearecruise

I couldn't resist peering back into a sector I knew well and formulating a few perspectives on the state of river cruise play in 2023. Here's my take 👇 ✅ The Autumn 2023 River Cruise Industry Survey revealed significant growth in passenger numbers across key river cruise destinations, with Australia/New Zealand experiencing a 200% increase. ✅ Key source markets like America/Canada, the UK and Ireland, and Australia/New Zealand significantly impacted the business success of river cruise operators this year. ❌ Challenges include staff bottlenecks, inflation, and environmental issues. ✅ Stakeholders in and along the rivers on land suggest improved communication among themselves, quality-focused service provision, and environmental sustainability measures as key areas to improve upon. ✅ The survey highlights a thriving market with potential for further expansion, but addressing challenges and implementing optimisation strategies is crucial for continued success. Does this appear to be a reasonable articulation, Brigitte Franz? #europeanrivercruising #rivercruise #cruiseindustry #traveltrends
