Star Clippers has achieved record-breaking sales for the first booking week in January, topping all previous years on record.
In a statement, the company said that this is the most successful week for the specialist tall-ship cruise line compared to the same period in any preceding year.
Fay McCormack, General Manager of Star Clippers UK GSA, said:
“We are all delighted with this news and can feel the uncertainty and upheaval of the last few years fading further behind us.
“With more and more people seeking bucket-list experiences, we are seeing both returning passengers and new guests alike looking for the experiential, once-in-a-lifetime travel opportunities that our tall ships offer.
“We are also seeing more trends and booking patterns develop to help us understand how the rest of the year may project.”
The Monaco-based cruise line, represented in the UK by Fred Olsen Travel, has also recognised a trend of more passengers booking the entire package element, rather than just the cruise-only section.
Fay added: “Consumer confidence is growing again, and whilst our 3 ships are consistently operating their planned cruises in Central America, the Caribbean and the Mediterranean, as well as ocean crossings, knowing that their holidays are protected is vital in this current climate.”
