Poll investigates the age of first time cruisers
A survey of 1,382 Brits has found that a third of first time cruisers are under the age of 30.
The poll, by www.CruiseCompare.co.uk, found that 21% of the respondents were aged 25 – 30 when they went on their first cruise, while 12% were aged 20 – 24.
The majority (48%) of the cruisers polled were aged 50 plus.
“The main aim of this research was to discover if the misconception that cruising holidays are preferred by the older generations was in fact true,†said Danielle Fear, managing director of CruiseCompare.co.uk.
“It was pleasing to discover that this isn’t always the case and that such a large number of first time cruisers are fairly young when they embark on their first cruise.
“It will be interesting to revisit this research in 12 months time, as families are starting to see the benefits involved in a cruise holiday and are deciding to venture on to the ships and travel the ocean rather that stick to the traditional package holiday.â€
