Strong demand for world cruise helps boost the beleaguered industry

In an optimistic sign for the cruise industry, luxury line Seabourn has reported “strong booking volume” for its 145-day 2022 World Cruise.

The voyage is more than 50 per cent sold on segments through the halfway point in Shanghai. Additionally, there is limited space on remaining full segments that depart from Los Angeles on January 11, 2022.

“We are really encouraged by the tremendous amount of positive interest and bookings for our 2022 World Cruise, which clearly demonstrates that now is the time to consider a booking, rather than later on when suite availability may be limited or even sold out,” said Steve Smotrys, vice president of global sales for Seabourn.

From Los Angeles, the Seabourn Sojourn will travel westbound, visiting Hawaii, South Pacific islands, New Zealand, Australia, a number of destinations in Asia, Arabia, Africa, before ending in Athens, Greece, on June 6, 2022.
