A new study from Cruisebound shows more millennials are cruising, as the average age of cruisers trends downward.

The platform theorizes this trend in younger cruisers is brought about by cruise lines’ increasing offering of family-friendly experiences and shorter cruises that can be enjoyed over a long weekend.
