Last month, Travel Counsellors’ UK leisure travel sales hit £60m – up 20% year on year – making it the best February in the homeworking company’s 30-year history.
However, cruise bookings jumped by almost 40% over the same month after a bumper January that saw cruise sales top £10 million.
In February, luxury cruises were among the top three holiday types booked by Travel Counsellors.
Global sales director Jim Eastwood said: “In recent weeks we’ve seen wave upon wave of cruise bookings, whether that’s travellers wishing to holiday at sea, or sightsee on river sailings.
