Discover the latest in the world of cruise with a new guide from National Geographic Traveller (UK)
LONDON (12 December)鈥�� How cool is cruising? When it comes to appealing to a younger generation, the cruise industry is pushing the envelope more than ever: from shorter itineraries and risqu茅 entertainment to active excursions and flexible dining options. And it seems to be paying off 鈥� a study by Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) revealed that 36% of cruise passengers in 2023 were under the age of 40, and 81% of millennials who鈥檇 been on a cruise intended to repeat the experience. You can read more about this growing trend in our special Cruise guide, distributed with the Jan/Feb 2025 issue of National Geographic Traveller (UK).
Farida Zeynalova, editor of the Cruise guide, says: 鈥淭he world of cruise is at once familiar and fast-changing. In this 100-page special, we cover the most exciting trends, itineraries and everything in between 鈥� all told through the expert eyes of award-winning writers and photographers.鈥�
Elsewhere in the guide, we explore the top 25 islands to visit in 2025 鈥� from snorkelling in Thailand鈥檚 Andaman Sea to encountering curious creatures in Southern Africa鈥檚 Lake Kariba. Other highlights include an aquatic adventure in the Pacific nation of Palau; a trip around Greece’s Ionian Islands on board a yacht; and a look at the best cultural experiences in Portugal鈥檚 Douro Valley.
