Cruise ships are seeing more people come on board this summer with numbers expected to be at 31.5 million this year. That would be more than the last full year before the pandemic.

"Guests have booked earlier than we’ve ever seen before," said Holland America’s Senior Vice President of Revenue Management Beth Bodensteiner. "Ships are full throughout the summer at this point. And guests are booking into 2024."to cruise this year. That would surpass the nearly 30 million people who cruised in 2019, the last normal year before the pandemic. "This summer has been fantastic," Bodensteiner said. "I think better than we anticipated.
