everybody it's Bruce here with traveling with Bruce welcome to my channel today's
video is called trending cruises for women cruise lines are adapting for the
tastes of the modern traveler cruise lines do not stand still when it comes
to the demographics out there they know that the baby boomers are aging out and
the Gen Xers are coming Gen Y's are coming and needs are changing
one of the areas that's really changing is women travelers a lot of females want
to go out there and enjoy themselves but they don't want to go to slums
situations and be hassled at dangerous ports cruising has really changed in the
last 50 60 years back in the 40s the 50s and the 60s traveling was in effect to
get from point A to point B and so these kinds of posters and these ocean liners
were the way to travel but in effect it was reserved for the upper middle class
and higher because the costs were just so prohibitive to go anywhere and these
advertisements here showing people in tuxedos and evening gowns for every
dinner as a thing of the past in the 70s 80s 90s and now cruise lines built out
giant ships to handle masses of people and it was just good enough to literally
put a ship in the water with all kinds of bells and whistles on it they would
come but in the last few years of discerning travelers and people who've
been on one or two or three cruises they want more than just to be put on the
ship and go to the nearest Caribbean port especially single travelers and in
particular female travelers female travelers are not interested in getting
caught up in this scenario where you end up at a so-called getaway island only to
find there are 15,000 other passengers with you and within a mile of the ship
these slums exist in many of these ports where there are a lot of desperate
people and you don't dare go anywhere near these areas but if you're not
careful you might find yourself in the middle of it
tourist trap like this surrounded by all kinds of people or in
some slum areas that are just not gonna work out
female travelers today are far more discerning and they want much much more
than just being dropped off at a port cruise lines have figured it out they've
decided they're gonna go the direction of wellness and fitness and mental
health and everything else because they know female travelers just like anyone
else work hard and they need to de-stress and so these wellness cruises
are now picking up in popularity all over the place we're on board the ship
you have all the amenities like the spa the exercise areas the the equipment and
the massage is available and yoga classes and and wellness classes and
training and consulting fantastic this is an area that cruise lines are heading
for women are reacting to this big time the other thing the cruise lines are
doing is they know a lot of their travelers just want to get away from it
all and not be bothered when they get down to the warm weather from that cold
winter weather up north Cruise Lines are doing this they're building private
islands and private resorts these are reserved only for the passengers of the
cruise ship these entire areas are fenced off they have security everywhere
and these are absolutely run like a first-world scenario if these these
might be in Haiti these might be in Jamaica these might be in Dominican
Republic or in the Bahamas like you see here there's all kinds of private
resorts coming up now the cruise lines have spent billions of dollars to build
these and it allows the passengers six to eight to ten hours in a day to do
nothing but enjoy the water enjoy the beach and just veg this is not a
cultural tour what we're looking at here this is a getaway these kinds of
waterpark getaways are being built as well this is Coco key from the Royal
Caribbean and this allows passengers three different peace of mind
oh then they can go down Carrigan's up in joints Ivan resorts with the cruise
line we're cruising line is managing
everything and for women this is a stress reliever to be sure number of
women like to go on cruises where there are no children allowed so the
higher-end cruise lines are like biking here they cater to adults only perfect
for adults a lot of women enjoy this cruise line on their own but all in all
it depends on your budget there's something for you from everyone whether
it's a or Star Line five Star Line six star line the cruise companies have and
are continuing to expand their services to women I hope you enjoyed this video
