Club Cruise has experienced a 27% increase in December booking inquiries compared to the same period last year, driven by Travel Tuesday momentum and a consumer trend toward gifting travel experiences instead of physical items.
This surge signals a strong rebound in cruise and curated vacation interest, represents real planning by consumers rather than just window-shopping, and reflects decades of brand trust in Club Cruise according to CEO Amanda Huber.
The surge is fueled by post-Black Friday 'Travel Tuesday' momentum and a holiday gifting trend where consumers are trading physical gifts for memorable travel experiences, with many inquiries explicitly referencing holiday gifting for loved ones.
The increase is driven by parents and grandparents seeking multi-generational cruises, couples looking for romantic sailings, friends planning group trips, and solo travelers wanting cultural itineraries, all planning for 2026 and 2027 vacations.
The top 5 are: 1) European river cruises (Danube, Rhine, Douro), 2) Luxury small-ship cruises in the South Pacific and Tahiti, 3) Alaska cruisetours for multi-generational families, 4) Mediterranean cultural voyages and guided land tours, and 5) All-inclusive curated vacations combining cruise, hotel, transfers, and expert planning.
Club Cruise differentiates itself through expert planning with personalized itineraries, deep relationships with major cruise lines and suppliers, decades of reliability and trust, and concierge-level service despite national reach from its Lincoln, CA headquarters.
Club Cruise is offering free, no-obligation 20-minute travel consultations this week to help clients plan 2026-2027 vacations, which can be accessed by calling 1-800-CLUB-SEA or visiting www.ClubCruise.com.
Early planning is essential because prime cabins and best itineraries are already booking up fast for 2026-2027 vacations, according to CEO Amanda Huber's statement about savvy travelers securing reservations before availability tightens.
Club Cruise was founded in 1991 and has maintained a national reputation for over 30 years, evolving from a cruise-only agency to a full-service luxury travel planner focused on personalized service, value, and expertise.
