Expedition Cruises: Thrills & Risks in Remote Spots
from The Daily News Now! Business
Expedition cruises to remote destinations like Antarctica and the Arctic are surging in popularity, with wealthy travelers spending $30,000 to $50,000 per person for these unique adventures. The global cruise industry is booming, with expedition trips being the fastest-growing segment. Despite rising costs and risks, such as the recent hantavirus outbreak, demand for Antarctica sailings continues to rise. Travelers are becoming more risk-aware, investing in crisis response memberships and cancel-for-any-reason coverage. However, standard insurance policies often fall short in remote areas, where help can take days and cost over $250,000. Cruise lines tout their health protocols, but maritime lawyers warn that premium prices dont always mean top rescue setups. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
