Luxury Cruise Ships Segmentation

Cruising Type (Ocean, Luxury, Adventure, River, Expedition)

By the end of 2037, ocean cruising segment is anticipated to account for more than 57% luxury cruise ships market share owing to the increase in adventure activity that involves a significant amount of amusement, energy, and equipment for cooking, water supply, and plumbing, among other essential facilities on board. This leads to high consumption of energy and power, posing various environmental concerns.

In addition, according to a report by the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, in 2019, the cruisers dumped more than 32 billion litter which is about 8.45 billion gallons of waste in Canadian waters. This increases the surge in the usage of second-hand appliances that are energy and water-efficient, durable, and reliable and can help reduce the environmental impact of ocean cruising, thus facilitating a more sustainable experience.
