Despite a blip during the pandemic, cruise holidays remain extremely popular among British tourists. According to TUI, bookings for autumn cruises are up by nine percent.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson said: “Poorer summer weather in the source markets has boosted bookings and demand in autumn at higher rates.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cruise ships are also getting bigger and the world’s largest ever cruise ship, Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas, is due to take to the seas in 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n
