Have cruise lines put their trust in the
Mediterranean again? It may seem so, as the Mediterranean is back to record
capacity numbers after a dip in 2013 and 2014, according to the 2015-2016 Cruise
Industry News Annual Report.
The region peaked at just over 4 million passengers in 2012, before cruise lines
pulled capacity out due to economic woes. Now, more ships are back, as the
region looks to eclipse the 4 million passenger mark again in 2015, and looks
set for a potential record year.
Costa Crociere leads the way in market share, carrying just over 20 percent of
the passengers, while Royal Caribbean notes a big increase from its 2014 number,
but is still down significantly from the 585,000 passengers it carried in 2011.
