Nearly a Third of Travelers Would Consider a Cruise in 2022; Vaccines Critical

Despite pandemic complications, 30 percent of travellers would consider cruising next year, a survey from the University of Florida shows. Among avowed cruise lovers, 29.6 percent were ready to set sail in APR 2021, while nearly half (46.3 percent) would cruise next year. Among those who didn’t identify as cruise lovers, 6.5 percent were willing to cruise in APR 2021 and 23 percent would consider cruising in 2022. In the online survey of 1,540 U.S. citizens in FEB-APR 2021, cruise lovers were defined as people who have a high intention to take a cruise when the industry reopens, with the majority having cruised previously. Across all respondents, willingness to cruise was linked to vaccine acceptance, with those open to the vaccine reporting a higher intention to take a cruise.
