One in four advisors said that they regularly
sell another river cruise to a line immediately
after the first one, considering that they are
already at the destination.
This shows the large opportunity available
for a follow-up cruise, especially since 4
out of 10 advisors said they do so, although
occasionally. The primary demographic of the
river cruise — the empty nesters and baby
boomers — are more likely to be able to spare
extra days for a second trip.
While it’s certainly true that those opting for
a follow-up river cruise would have more
time at hand for a vacation, with workcations
being offered on certain cruise lines
12
, and
Wi-Fi being available on the ships, it would
be possible for clients to work while enjoying
the river view.
