However, he laid bare the capacity challenges agents must help the sector overcome, with 20 new ships across both the ocean and river sectors entering the market next year.
“Looking ahead for the next 12 months, it’s going to be action packed,” said Bouldin, who is also Royal Caribbean’s EMEA vice-president. “We’ve got 20 new ships – 14 new river ships and six new ocean ships – launching.”
