Neeraj Singh Dev, Executive Vice President and Head – E-commerce and Domestic and Short-haul Holidays at Thomas Cook (India) and SOTC Travels, said post-pandemic cruise demand has accelerated sharply. “We have seen tremendous growth in cruise bookings and guests opting for three, four, and seven-night cruises rather than a regular FIT holiday. The concept of all inclusive works very well with Indian holiday buyers, and they see a value add in this proposition.”
