Cruise Lines Prepare for a Busy Fall/Winter.

As August winds down, we get ready for a busy Fall season. The world gets serious with sports, politics, school and other life events. But fall is also a time to get ready for cruise sales. The big Wave season starts in January, but we noticed that most lines offer some impressive sales in November and December. It’s sort of jumping the gun to suckup consumer dollars in front of the Wave Season.

As usual, there are some impressive new ships coming out next year and lines are adjusting their promotions. Princess recently tiered up their restaurant lineup into four levels. NCL launches a new class of ships. And lines adjust their itineraries. Ships are also looking to be more environmentally friendly by using LNG fuels and other effects.

So far bookings are already strong for the main cruise lines. Recently Travel Weekly said:

Cruise lines’ outsize second-quarter performance — of record-breaking bookings and higher prices — led two of the world’s largest cruise companies to raise their earnings expectations through the end of the year. The move comes as cruise lines progress away from a state of pandemic recovery and into a chapter defined by strong demand and consumer spending.
