Major Markets Control Cruise Capacity

While new regions of the world creep into ship deployment patterns, the major markets are still dominating the global cruise capacity picture, according to 2018-2019 Cruise Industry News Annual Report.

This year, the Annual Report projects that 38.4 percent of the world’s capacity will be in the Caribbean, down from 38.9 percent in 2017, and matching 2016’s number.

The second biggest market is Asia-Pacific, which is down year-over-year, to 15.1 percent from 15.7 percent in 2017 – but that region is well up from representing just 8 percent of capacity in 2013.

Next, the Mediterranean accounts for 14.2 percent of the world’s cruise deployments, up from 13.6 percent in 2017, while Northern Europe also grows from 9 percent in 2017 to 9.4 percent this year.

Combined, the Mediterranean, Northern Europe and Canary Islands make up 25.7 percent of worldwide capacity, compared percent to 24.6 percent in 2017.
