 Cruising is one of the fastest growing and most profitable sectors within the travel industry with over 20% of all UK holidaymakers now choosing a cruise in preference to other holidays. The Cruise Market is currently a 2.5 billion industry and is growing year on year. In 2007 alone 1.4 million cruises were booked in the UK, with over 50% of bookings from “new to cruise” passengers. Third party Agent sales (such as Global Cruising) account for 85% of all cruises booked. With 12 million cruise passengers in 2007 and an expected number to rise to 17 million by 2010 it has never been a better time to be part of this exciting holiday market, with demand increasing by 200% in the last 6 years. The Global Cruising Voyager Club was introduced by Global Cruising Bristol (our first franchise). It has developed into a successful and growing cruise travel regional business. Global Cruising is proud to be an independent cruise agency, and member of the prestigious Leading Cruise Agents, who enjoys strategic partnerships with numerous large and niche ocean and river cruise operators. |
