Nile Cruises Gather Momentum As Cruise Market Diversifies
The cruise industry remains suprisingly unbattered by a tumultuous recession, but there may be change afoot in the tastes of their clientele. With cruising taking over from the liner half a century ago, the tropical cruise was the natural result and there has been a massive boom in Caribbean tourism since the 80s. The boom years of Caribbean cruising saw the number of passengers visiting the islands soar from 900,000 to 2.3 million between 1983 and 1993. But there are signs that regular cruisers as well as new markets are increasingly favouring more temperate or perhaps even colder climates. There is also a growing market for river-based cruises that provide ample landfall opportunities and sights beyond the endless expanse of water that characterise most cruises.
For Egypt cruises 2011 shows every sign of being a tipping point for growing passenger numbers and a continuation of 2010 market profits. As the longest river in the world, the Nile’s appeal is of little mystery. And because Egypt and Northern Sudan are only really there because of the Nile’s fertile banks, the sights of these nations are all on display in one conveyor-like vista. A trip along the Nile takes in every aspect of the African climate, from fertile delta in the north to the desert to the grasslands in the south. And this is without mention famous ancient Egyptian landmarks.
The heartland of the European cruise has always been the Mediterranean, but many northern hemisphere lines are venturing further north to attract different markets. The growth of the popularity of the temperate zones has been confirmed by Princess’ plans to move two of their Caribbean cruise ships back to the UK for use in the Scandinavian Fjords. The Baltic also sees increasing attention and to operators like Silverseas cruises 2011 is anticipated to be another year of growth. The American market is seeing similar success with Alaskan cruises, such as those operated by Crystal cruises, who emphasise more unconventional cruise experiences, such as on-board language learning.
