Cruisers getting younger and wealthier

Friday, 17 Apr, 2006 0

Cruise passengers are getting younger and richer, according to a study by the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA).

The average age of cruisers, 49, is the youngest ever.

The average income of passengers hit six figures for the first time  —  $104,000.

Cruising had the highest percentage of “extremely satisfied” customers, at 45%, beating out all-inclusive resorts at 42%.

Those surveyed also thought cruising offered better value for their money, surpassing even all-inclusive resorts.

The main attraction of cruising was seen by “being pampered.”
