Have you heard the buzz?
Have you heard the buzz? The cruise industry is humming along again, and it’s taking travelers by surprise.
The latest….
Americans are buying again, and with their large population, they tend to greatly influence pricing and availability. What we are seeing is a trend to buying further in advance, a bit of a price bump, and (WOW) limited availability already for some sailings in 2011. For instance, the popular roundtrip Vancouver – Hawaii sailing in April of 2011 is sold out, some of the Alaska sailings across brands selling like firecrackers…and the Europe sailings are very strong. So, the message in this sector is to buy soon if you wish to cruise next year, or you may be sitting on the dock, so to speak, as your dream vacation slips away!
On the other front…packaged holidays appear to be booking very short to date – approximately 6 weeks, and are predicted to continue to do so. There may be some great deals to be found!
Happy traveling! We hope you finish up 2010 in memorable fashion, with a great vacation!
