L’innovation au service du renouveau des croisières, un modèle à suivre pour l’aérien ?

🚢 In 2024, the cruise market saw a 20% increase in travelers over 2019, surpassing the air travel sector, which only experienced a 10% growth. The pandemic had initially reduced cruise attendance by 80% in 2020, while air travel dropped by two-thirds. Recovery began in 2023, with American cruises resuming in 2021, leading to a concept known as "revenge-travel." Despite the demand, cruise prices remained competitive, historically 15-20% lower than comparable land stays, and stabilized at 25-30% below post-pandemic, after peaking at 50% savings. The Lufthansa Innovation Hub study highlighted that cruise-related patent filings, which had been rising since 2016, surged during the pandemic, with 14% focusing on health protection and 50% on onboard services and entertainment. MSC Cruises' innovation includes a 1,000m² digital display on a terminal façade. Millennials, making up a quarter of the clientele in 2021, increased to over a third (34%) by 2025, with customer satisfaction on TripAdvisor and CruiseLine matching pre-pandemic levels, unlike with airlines.
