Cruise industry Netherlands - statistics & facts
Home to one of the largest ports in Europe and seen as one of the main routes to the European continent, it comes as no surprise that the cruise industry in Netherlands is big business. However, in 2020 and 2021, the cruise market was no exception to also being impacted by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which hit the entire tourism sector. The resulting economic slowdown was directly reflected in the revenue figures of the Dutch cruise segment, with a significant decline of over 70 million euros between 2019 and 2020. While the figures did not progress much in 2021, a better recovery is expected in 2022, with a predicted revenue of around 70 million euros for the Dutch cruise segment.
