Travel insurance and assistance company Allianz Partners surveyed more than 1,000 customers who purchased its U.S. travel insurance products through travel advisors and other retail distribution partners and found that among retail customers who don’t plan to travel this year, many plan to book international travel in 2021 and many will choose to cruise. The outlook for travel abroad via cruise ship looks promising for 2021.
Of those who said they won’t travel until 2021 in the Allianz survey, 60 percent plan to visit an international destination on their next trip, and 20 percent of that number plans to do so by cruise ship. When asked, “when you travel next, where will you stay,” 50 percent replied a hotel or resort, followed by cruising, then 13 percent with friends or family; 8 percent in a rental house; 4 percent in a personal vacation home; and 2 percent in an RV, tent or cabin.
While ocean cruising won’t return in the United States until at least November 2020, the Cruise Lines International Association indicates large ships are setting sail elsewhere around the globe with limited capacity, social distancing and stringent safety measures.
