THE final week of the Australian cruise industry’s #ChooseCruise month is focusing on the expedition sector, highlighting its rapid growth and ability to reach out-of-the-way destinations.
Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) Australasia Managing Director Joel Katz said nearly a quarter of new cruise ships on order were classed as small or expedition ships.
“With more and more cruisers seeking transformational travel and itineraries to off-the-beaten-track destinations, expedition cruising is set to shake off its niche label and become more mainstream,” Katz said.
CLIA travel agents and cruise operators are this week offering deals for expedition cruises.
