Cruise Trade News is checking the pulse of the industry via a new online reader survey, with the results to be revealed at the 2025 Cruise Summit on 22 September

How are cruise bookings tracking compared to last year? Are new-to-cruise enquiries rising or falling? What would make cruise more appealing to on-the-fencers? These are the questions on the lips of every travel agent and cruise line employee in the country.

Now, you can share your take by completing our short three-minute survey and help steer the conversation at next month’s 2025 Cruise Summit.

The industry is evolving at break-neck speed, with new ships, reimagined itineraries and the emergent land-and-cruise proposition reshaping how consumers view the sector.

We want to hear how these shifts are impacting your role to help us pinpoint where the opportunities lie for agents and cruise lines in 2026 and beyond.

Our survey only takes a few minutes to complete, with the findings revealed live at the 2025 Cruise Summit on 22 September. Insights will also be published online at cruisetradenews.com, with an extended look inside the magazine’s October/November edition.
