Cruise passenger traffic up 4.5 percent in North America
The number of passengers boarding cruises on seventeen major cruise lines, making at least one stop in North America, was 4.5% higher in the third quarter of 2005 than in 2004, according to the U.S. Maritime Administration.
Why? The cruise industry continues to flourish amid continued new shipbuilds, innovation in the onboard product, diversity of itineraries, and renewed interest in far-from-home travel among Americans.
The big winners included Norwegian Cruise Line, adding 49 departures dominated by its innovative us-flagged Hawaii cruise ships Pride of America and Pride of Aloha, and Princess Cruises with 22 additional sailings.
The data includes Carnival, Celebrity, Costa, Crystal, Cunard, Disney, Holland America, MSC Italian Cruises, Norwegian, Oceania, Princess, Radisson, Royal Caribbean, SeaDream, Silversea, Seabourn, and Windstar.
