Cruise Industry Facts and Figures
A Few More Cruise Industry Facts
Passengers
More than 10,000,000 people take a cruise vacation annually. Of those, approximately 80 percent of these people will cruise in North American waters.
Ports of call
There are more than two thousand ports of call around the globe that cruise ships can travel to.
Most Popular Departure Ports
Miami, Port Canaveral, and Fort Lauderdale in the State of Florida make up at least half of all the departure ports where passengers begin their cruise holiday. This of course being the main gateway to the Caribbean!
Non-destination
For many seasoned cruisers, the ports of call are not their main destination, but the actual ship itself and the on board luxuries the ship offers.
Cruise length
The average length of a cruise taken is slightly over seven days. My favorite has always been 10 to 14 for value and because the time goes oh so fast!
Cruise Ship Population
Today, there are more than three hundred cruise ships at any given place around the world. Together, they can jointly carry over 300,000 passengers each and every day of the year.
Individual Capacities
The latest mammoth super-sized cruise ships carry over four thousand people including passengers and crew. These ships would make the Titanic look like a toy and many are as tall as a sixteen story building.
Construction Cost
Those huge new ships can cost a cruise line at least a half-billion American dollars before the first passenger steps on board.
Three Major Cruise Lines
Today, 3 cruise line groups … Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Star/NCL command approximately two-thirds of world’s cruise passenger business.
There you have it, just a few interesting cruise line industry facts to think about the next time you climb aboard one of these amazing floating resort hotels.
