CHART 4

Projected River Cruise Sales – Next 12 months

Over the NEXT 12 months, how do you expect your personal River Cruise Sales if

answering for yourself, OR agency’s River Cruise Sales, if answering as an owner/

manager, to change?

Advisors are bullish on future sales of River Cruises

with 87% projecting an increase over the next 12

months, including 43% who expect sales to go up

by more than 10%. A further 22% are expecting

gains of more than 25%.

While 12% are forecasting a flat market, no

respondents expect a decrease and only 1% of

respondents said they don’t expect to sell any River

Cruises in the next 12 months.

Not all the sales are single cabins, either. One agent

told us, “I have chartered a ship for 2021 and may

do another.”

A new agent said she “plans to have several cruise

nights presenting river cruise options.”
