In 2019, just over 30 million passengers took a cruise, a record for the industry. It was predicted last year at Seatrade that by 2026 the number would be 34.5 million. 2023 is already looking to take 33 million passengers on a cruise, with new prediction for 2026 moving to 39 million. The rebound of cruise has been rapid and the future looks bright. Cruise is attracting a new wave of first-time cruisers. With 40 newbuilds entering the market in 2023, there are newer, smarter and technically improved ships sailing the globe.
