Wind Cancellations, Nude Cruises, and an Icon Debut Shift

from Cruise News

In this episode, we explore three seemingly unrelated cruise industry stories that reveal a unified trend: the death of the generic cruise. From the Norwegian Pearl's highly regulated nude charter to the MSC Splendida's Mediterranean storm diversion and Royal Caribbean's artist discovery program, discover how cruise lines are creating hyper-controlled micro-communities to compensate for losing control of the external environment.
