DETROIT (Jan. 15, 2021) – While 2020 was a challenging year for the cruise industry, the good news is that there is more than ample expectation for 2021 to be a banner year for cruising. There are at least five compelling reasons for this, not to mention that people absolutely LOVE to travel, and the anticipation is surging.
Here are five reasons why:

Tour the island via jeep, snorkel with stingrays, or take a kayak lagoon tour; go parasailing, compete in beach Olympics or enjoy the floating aqua playground… the options for energetic explorers abound, and families are more than welcome, with plenty to do for all ages. https://allthingscruise.com/?s=private+islands

Health high-tech gadgets and procedures may surge as cruise lines streamline health monitoring of its guests, staff and workers.

Ships Safety Protocols, once the protocols are in place, cruise ships will be one of the safest ways to travel, with carefully controlled health precautions strictly observed and best practices made mandatory. Unlike public transport, crowded airports and overcrowded trains, cruise travel is in a much better position to control and monitor safety conditions. Cruise lines are and have constantly been implementing health protocols to best ensure the health and safety of all passengers. Government guidelines are ensuring that these protocols are extremely robust and will be tested prior to the resumption of normal cruising.
