Mediterranean Boom, Greece Disruption, World Cup at Sea

from Cruise News

The Mediterranean cruise market is surging toward nearly six million passengers in 2026, fueled by massive mega-ships and fierce competition between European and American cruise lines. This episode explores the explosive growth reshaping ports from Santorini to Dubrovnik, MSC's bold strategy to broadcast all 104 World Cup matches fleet-wide, and the sobering reality check delivered by Celebrity Infinity's power failure off the coast of Greece—proving that even billion-dollar floating cities are still at the mercy of aging hardware.
