Tour America & Cruise Holidays Sees 30% Increase in USA Cruise & Stay Bookings

Tour America and Cruise Holidays has announced a 30% increase in bookings for USA Cruise & Stay holidays, with Irish travellers continuing to embrace the value, convenience and variety offered by combining a Florida holiday with a Caribbean cruise.

The company’s most in-demand itinerary is currently a 7-night stay in Orlando followed by a 7-night Caribbean cruise, giving holidaymakers the opportunity to enjoy Orlando’s world-famous theme parks before sailing to some of the Caribbean’s most beautiful islands.

The growth reflects a wider trend among Irish travellers seeking holidays that combine multiple experiences into one unforgettable trip while offering exceptional value for money.

Even more significantly, 70% of Tour America and Cruise Holidays’ business now comes from repeat customers, underlining the strength of customer loyalty and the trust the brands have built over more than three decades.

Customers consistently cite the company’s expert advice, outstanding customer service, financial protection and first-hand destination knowledge as the key reasons they continue to book with Tour America and Cruise Holidays year after year.

Mary McKenna, Managing Director of Tour America & Cruise Holidays, commented: “We’re seeing extraordinary demand for Cruise & Stay holidays, particularly Florida and the Caribbean. Irish families and couples love being able to experience the excitement of Orlando before relaxing on a world-class cruise. It offers incredible value and creates memories that last a lifetime.

“What we’re most proud of isn’t just the 30% growth—it’s the fact that 70% of our business comes from returning customers. That tells us people trust us. In today’s world, where consumers have endless choices online, trust, expertise and having real people available when you need them has never been more important.”

With over 30 years of experience creating tailor-made holidays to North America, Tour America and Cruise Holidays continues to be one of Ireland’s leading specialists in USA holidays and cruises, working with the world’s leading cruise lines including Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, MSC Cruises, Princess Cruises and many more.

The company expects Cruise & Stay holidays to remain one of the fastest-growing sectors of the travel market throughout 2026 and into 2027, driven by increased cruise capacity, excellent air access from Ireland and outstanding value compared with many traditional long-haul holidays.
