Small ships and tailor-made experiences: The perfect combination for an acquired taste 💎   “Instead of spending three days in Saint Petersburg, I can bring our guests to three different destinations in the Baltic Sea. They get to see so much more,” said Senior Cruise Line Executive @Claudius Docekal from Scenic - Luxury Cruises & Tours at a panel on Geopolitical Issues and the impact on Luxury Cruising during Seatrade Cruise Global in Miami.   Director of Cruise Baltic Klaus Bondam, Francesca Antonelli Ibáñez Antonelli from MedCruise, and Janet Bava from Windstar Cruises were also on the panel.   It is no secret that the Baltic Sea has suffered from a lack of cruise guests due to the geopolitical situation and the closure of Saint Petersburg as part of the Baltic itinerary. Luckily, it is slowly changing, which undoubtedly has something to do with the storytelling of the many secrets our region holds. Not to forget the increased interest from cruise lines and their willingness to visit new destinations.   Especially amongst the high-end segment sailing on smaller vessels, we experience an interest in uncovering small and unknown destinations with around 8-10 calls per year, making them far from overcrowded.    In the Baltic Sea, we also showcase the advantages of guests visiting all year round despite the rough weather during winter. We always focus on continuously identifying new ports and destinations in the region. Just like our newest member Ystad Hamn Logistik AB / Port of Ystad and Ystads kommun, home of Wallander, in the south of Sweden.    #STCGlobal #uncoveroursecrets  #CruiseIndustry 

We have advertised a lot of cruises today, but they're not the only new ships launching in 2025. River cruise lines seem to launch a slew of new ships each year, and 2025 is no different. AmaWaterways will introduce AmaMagdalena and AmaMelodia, its first ships to sail the rivers of Colombia, along with a new ship in Portugal. Viking will debut a whopping 10 river ships, including Viking Tonle on the Mekong, two ships in Egypt and seven vessels in Europe. Fans of the yachting lifestyle and high-end hotels should keep an eye on The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, which will launch its third "yacht," Luminara, this summer. We put yacht in quotes because, while that's what the line calls its vessels, they're really not yachtlike at all. Luminara will rise 10 decks high and carry more than 400 people. Regardless of whether you're excited about the humongous megaships arriving from MSC Cruises and Royal Caribbean or a tiny new ship from Windstar, you'll want to call your favorite travel agent right now if you want to get the right room at the right price on a 2025 cruise on one of these new ships. New ships are always popular, and with this crop of innovative new-builds launching during a time when cruising is hot, you're going to have to book early to snag a spot on one of these new ships. 📲 (816)237-0492, Amy P. https://lnkd.in/g-4g_FqT #amystravelservicesllc #cruise2025

Never been on a river cruise before? Not sure what to expect? Let's bust some misconceptions for you about sailing on the world's greatest waterways. 1. Aren't river cruises just for older travellers? No. Despite being a popular holiday choice for the over 50s market river cruises offer a range on onboard amenities, excursions and itineraries for all ages such as gyms, wellness studios, lounges and bars to enjoy breathtaking views with a cocktail in hand. 2. Don't you need to dress formally for dinner? No. Of course you are welcome to do so but there is no requirement to dress up for your evening meal. Some cruiselines have dedicated formal nights on some itineraries. 3. Aren't river cruises expensive? Quite the contrary. On the face of it it may seem expensive, but when you consider that many cruiselines throw in complimentary superior drinks packages, excursions and transfers. 4. Aren't river cruises only available in Europe? Definitely not. While the Rhine, Rhone and Danube and Seine are certainly very popular, there are stunning waterways to be explored all around the world. You can meander along the Mekong in Southeast Asia or discover the wonders of the Egyptian Nile and more. 5. Arent river cruises slow and boring? Yes and no. River ships sail at a slower pace than their oceangoing counterparts, but river cruises are by no means dull. For a start there is always a view - often one of stunning beauty on both sides of the ship - and there would be very few "sea days" spent entirely on board. On some itineraries you can visit 7 cities on a 7 night cruise.
