What cruises do Russians choose for the New Year 2020?

ATOR reports that the most popular cruise destination among Russians for the New Year 2020 is the Persian Gulf.

According to a major tour operator, New Year’s bookings for Persian Gulf cruises accounted for more than 50% of sales. Experts associate such a high demand with the novelty of the season - parking in the capital katara Doha (before that, sea voyages in the bay began most often from Abu Dhabi and Dubai).

In the second place in popularity are routes in the Indian Ocean.Maldives. sri Lanka. India), and in South-East Asia, starting from Singapore.

Other popular destinations are traditional trips to the Mediterranean and Australia.

Behind these destinations in the top of the New Year preferences of Russians are trips to South America, to the Caribbean islands from Miami.

If we compare the choice of Russian travelers with the preferences of tourists from other countries, then we quite fit into the global trend - Europeans almost always prefer cruises to distant warm countries on the New Year, and Americans love the routes of the nearby Caribbean. But in the Caribbean, domestic tour operators are now unable to grow seriously due to problems with the issuance of US visas.
