Cruise bookings within three months jump 13% year-on-year in July

Seascanner recorded a 13% year-on-year increase in July bookings for cruises departing within three months, with 26% more searches for the same period. Tony Andrews, MD at Seascanner.co.uk, attributed the surge to increased ship capacity and softer bookings from overseas markets like the US and Australia, creating opportunities for flexible travellers seeking late-availability deals.
