ABTA: cruising more popular with younger people than over-65s
Cruising is increasingly becoming more popular amongst younger travellers than it is with over 65s, according to the 2025-2026 Holiday Habits Report by ABTA.
Unveiling the report this morning (7 October) during its 2025 Travel Convention in Mallorca, the association found that a larger proportion of 25-34-year-olds (19 per cent) than over-65s (16 per cent) took a cruise in the last 12 months.
Emma Brennan, head of media and communications for ABTA, highlighted how this reflects efforts to widen cruising’s consumer base.
