One in four Australians plan to go on a cruise this year, with younger people the most likely to set sail, a new survey has revealed.
The figure is more than three times that of last year, representing a much-needed recovery for the cruise industry which struggles with its reputation for being an older persons' holiday.
According to a survey by the Tourism & Transport Forum Australia released on Monday, 35 per cent of Millennials and Gen Z plan to cruise this year, compared with 18 per cent of over 65s.
