Cruise tourism has been seeing a steady growth in demand all over the world. In Malaysia, agencies that offer cruise packages have reportedly been getting a lot of enquiries on international cruises ever since most of the pandemic travel restrictions were lifted about one year ago.

Cruise lines were also said to have done particularly well during major travel fairs like the Matta Fair and MITM (Malaysia International Travel) Fair – both in March – this year.
