The study also shows how 41% of Americans are looking into booking a cruise.
“The Travel sector is experiencing a rapid increase in demand as local governments across the world lift pandemic-driven restrictions and people feel more comfortable traveling again," said Rolando Flores, Senior Vice President of Membership and Travel for AAA Arizona. “Cruising is a popular choice for travelers looking for an experience where the journey is as important as the destination.”
AAA's survey also uncovered:

- 52% of millennials say they’re ready to go back to the open seas.
- 41% of Americans who are likely to cruise understand the COVID-19 risks.
