ROL Cruise recently surveyed more than 500 cruise enthusiasts, with the Caribbean revealed to be the ultimate dream cruise destination for 31%, followed by North America (16.3%) and Europe (9.36%).
In terms of the type of cruises which are proving the most popular, ocean cruises come out on top with 47% of the vote, although this was closely followed by world cruises at 36%.
While world cruises are considered an iconic dream holiday for many, cruise lines are now offering such a variety of world cruise options that they are fast becoming more accessible and financially viable. 38% of participants also said they?d be willing to travel to any port around the world to catch a cruise.
Price, itinerary and the reputation of the cruise line were also some of the most important aspects holidaymakers take into consideration when booking a cruise.
Sarah Wikevand, managing director of ROL Cruise, said: ?We were very excited about conducting this survey and were surprised by some of the results. While we expected the Caribbean to be high on people?s lists of dream holidays, North America was a surprising second place, however, our sales data shows that Alaska and neighbouring Canada remain traveller highlights and people are starting to explore the wider range of options available in the USA.
?It?s fantastic to hear that travellers are venturing further afield on world cruises; it is in many ways the ultimate holiday, with all the comforts of home and the chance to sail to different continents and experience a variety of cultures.?
