Creator's Key Takeaways

I believe that it's the availability that determines the numbers, not the other way around.

I went on cruises in classic Europe in December and it was much more enjoyable than dealing with the heat of July and August.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider cruising in Europe during winter for fewer crowds and lower prices.

YouTube Video Description

Why are there almost no cruises in Europe during the winter? In this video, we try to understand why most cruise lines leave Europe between December and April. During the winter months, major cruise companies such as Royal Caribbean, NCL, and Carnival don't operate ships in Europe. For several months each year, the European cruise market remains with almost no competition, while MSC Cruises continues to operate and dominates the region. But why does this happen? Why do most cruise lines leave Europe during the winter, and could this actually be a huge strategic mistake? In this video, I explain: • Why most cruise lines leave Europe during the winter? • Why the Caribbean becomes the main cruise destination during this season? • Whether American cruise lines are missing a big opportunity in the European market? • And how MSC Cruises built a major advantage in Europe? We’ll also talk about warm winter cruise destinations from Europe, such as: 🌴 Canary Islands 🌴 Madeira 🌴 Cape Verde 🌴 Morocco’s Atlantic coast So are the American cruise companies making a strategic mistake? Or is the Caribbean simply more profitable? What do you think? Would you take a winter cruise in Europe?
