Cruisers are younger than you think

If you’ve been put off cruising by thinking the mammoth ships are full of older people, think again… a new survey for the launch of National Cruise Week tomorrow, shows that more than half of cruisers took their first cruise before they were 45.
The poll by Cruise Critic, the world’s largest cruise review site, also  shows that a third were between 45 and 55, while only 17 per cent cruised for the first time between 55 and 65, while just three per cent were older than 65.
Cruise Critic conducted the poll to learn more about the average age of first-time cruisers, with the results dispelling any myths about cruising only appealing to an older demographic. Many cruise lines are keen to target the “new-to-cruise” audience, including families, and this survey highlights that cruising is attractive to people of all ages.
Adam Coulter, UK editor of Cruise Critic, said: “Cruising is by no means reserved only for the domain of the retired. The appeal has broadened as cruise lines have made changes to attract a younger demographic, and improved the variety of cruises on offer.
“There is now a cruise tailored to almost every taste: from active, destination intensive holidays to slower-paced escapes for those who just want to unwind and relax.  Another factor is that cruise is one of the few industries to buck the trend of mounting inflation, according to the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), cruises purchased by UK holidaymakers in 2012 actuallydecreased in price since 2005, with the average cost falling by £46.”
