AllClear’s cruise travel insurance experts revealed the world’s current dream cruise destinations, with the Caribbean topping the list of desirable destinations from 44 different countries around the world.
“Whether one wishes to visit many different, sunny, Mediterranean countries without worrying about packing and unpacking in each new country, or spotting polar bears in Arctic waters, cruising is undoubtedly one of the most comfortable ways to experience the world,” AllClear notes.
AllClear analysed average monthly searches to more than 100 popular cruise destinations to find out which cruise itineraries are the most popular in each country around the world.
The Caribbean is the most sought-after cruise destination. With tropical beaches in the Bahamas and the sandy shores of the Cayman Islands often part of the itinerary, Caribbean cruises have attracted over 2.8 million searchesθ placing this sunny destination firmly in first place.
Mediterranean cruises are the second most sought after, with 2.1 million searches for cruises sailing around European seas in the last 12 months. With key stops often including historic cities such as Rome and Athens, this option offers travellers the perfect blend of culture, history and maritime bliss.
Rounding out the top three most popular cruises in the world is the Alaska cruise, which crosses glaciers where bears, whales and other creatures can be spotted along the way.
Other notable cruises in the ranking include the stunning Norwegian Fjords, South America and the Mississippi River.
