Changing Demographics of Cruise Ship Industry

Janice likes to keep up on the latest news and views in the industry. “We’ve noticed a drop in the average age and the increase in families taking cruises,” she says. The competition and growth in the cruise ship industry is strong – which makes it better for clients. More affordable cruises for families and younger people in addition to the booming expedition, adventure and luxury options for everyone.

Never to Early to Book

Just ahead is the busiest booking season – winter 2019/2020. They are thrilled to be part of history right here in Victoria with the first ever cruises from Ogden Point. In July 2020, the Cunard line has an Alaska round trip onboard the glamorous Queen Elizabeth. This is all so new you won’t even find it on the web! Janice and team are escorting their clients on a unique itinerary featuring two glaciers – Glacier Bay and Hubbard Glacier.

Or join another escorted cruise with Janice in January 2021 from Singapore to Hongkong. That’s how far ahead they book to secure pricing and availability.

First-Time Cruisers Tips

Always use a Travel Agent:

  • Don’t be fooled by the internet
  • Cruising is a complicated vacation without an expert
  • They look after all arrangements – printing documents, airline tickets, luggage tags, etc.
  • They offer advice on dealing with sea sickness
  • And can customize the pre- and post-cruise tours including hotels, rental car and local transportation.
