In the coming year, the German cruise liners Aida Cruises and TUI Cruises will not pop a champagne bottle on the occasion of a ship's baptism. The two shipping companies are taking a break in terms of new buildings.
Nevertheless, the industry in Germany expects a further increase in the number of German high-sea passengers. If there were 2.2 million in 2018, it should be in 2020 or by 2021 at the latest to the three million guests. At the same time, shipyards around the world have ordered more cruise ships than ever before, which will be put into service in the coming years.
For cruise fans there will be plenty of novelties already in 2020 - more than two dozen new ocean cruise ships will be launched worldwide. However, some of them will hardly be seen by German tourists.
