The cruise industry is experiencing a remarkable resurgence, with Club Cruise reporting significant growth in bookings and global travel demand for 2025-2027. Under the leadership of Heather Faith Huber, known as 'Heather Viking', the company is seeing unprecedented interest in luxury cruising, particularly with Viking River and Ocean Cruises.
Royal Caribbean has also reported record-breaking sales in the first quarter of 2025, signaling strong market confidence. Ginny Tujague, Royal Caribbean's Northern California Business Development Representative, noted that travelers are more eager than ever to return to sea, with booking levels reaching all-time highs.
Corporate and group travel is driving substantial growth, with ship charters becoming increasingly popular for corporate retreats, conferences, and incentive trips. Club Cruise has positioned itself as a specialist in creating customized, fully private cruise experiences for large groups.
The surge in cruise bookings reflects a broader trend of travelers seeking meaningful experiences and embracing the opportunity to explore the world. With inventory for popular cruise lines beginning to deplete and per diem pricing increasing, industry experts suggest travelers book early to secure preferred itineraries and cabins.
Heather Faith Huber, recently named to the 30 Under 30 list, has been instrumental in driving Club Cruise's Viking Cruises portfolio expansion. Her strategic marketing initiatives and relationship-building with cruise lines have contributed to the company's success and growing market share.
As the cruise industry enters a new era of growth, Club Cruise remains committed to providing personalized, extraordinary travel experiences across diverse cruise lines and destinations.
