As recent reports have revealed that the number of British individuals taking to cruise holidays is increasing, an industry expert has revealed that there is no reason that such getaways shouldn't appeal to people of all ages. And whilst the traditional cruise passenger is often stereotypically characterised by their older age, new and modern boats are attempting to attract a younger crowd.
Explaining the changing phenomenon of the cruise industry, Cruise Critic's editor in chief, Carolyn Spencer Brown, revealed that cruises with unusual destinations or a wide range of onboard activities were rising in popularity. Meanwhile with cheap flights allowing for tourists to take opportunities of more adventuresome cruises further afield, younger passengers were beginning to take note. “Cruise lines have vastly improved the variety of activities on offer and updated classes to reflect the shifting demographic of those onboard,” Ms Spencer Brown explained.
In particular, cruise deals with unusual and unique activities have been shown to attract a wide range of people, with younger passengers taking interest in onboard cookery courses or digital photography classes. And with Marco Pierre White holding cooking demonstrations regularly on several liners, there are some big names to add to the mix. Meanwhile, with the upcoming autumn and winter season traditionally slow for the industry, younger passengers may just find an appealing and discounted cruise offer that provides a new and attractive getaway that they've never experienced before.
