In brief...: Cruise 'boom is under way'
Cruising is setting a cracking pace in holiday bookings - and despite recession fears, the boom is probably only just beginning.
That's the claim of The Cruise Report 2008, compiled by Carnival UK which owns leading UK brands like P&O, Princess, Cunard and the ultra-luxury Yachts of Seabourn.
With 44 new ships due to be launched in the next five years, the number of UK cruise passengers could soar from 1.4 million in 2007 to two million by 2012.
