Infoflot Cruise Center invites travel agencies to the next stage of its already traditional “Cruise Festival”. It will be held on October 15-16 in an online format and will be dedicated to the sales of the most striking and unusual cruises of 2025.
The cruise market continues to grow, and active sales of travel agencies are becoming year-round. This is due to the constant expansion of the range of offers, as well as the persistent interest of customers in the cruise product.
By far, the brightest novelty of the season on the Russian river was the newest liner – Nikolai Zharkov, which offers not only Luxury accommodation and service, but unique routes along the waters of the White and Black Seas, flights calling at Sochi, Yeysk, port Kavkaz, Anapa and Novorossiysk, as well as cruises visiting Dagestan.
Cruises to Turkey, Egypt and Greece on the Astoria Grande liner with departures from Sochi are popular in the maritime direction. And the normalization of visa issuance contributes to the growth of classic destinations such as cruises in the Mediterranean. In addition, there are offers with Russian groups on the market, which also attracts the attention of tourists. In addition, the autumn-winter season is dominated by cruise requests in the Persian Gulf.
Andrey Mikhailovsky, CEO of the Infoflot Cruise Center, notes the growing interest in foreign cruises: “Sales of foreign cruises increased by 30% compared to last year, and operators are bringing new interesting destinations to the market. For example, we see great customer interest in cruises on the Nile and the Yangtze River.”
Infoflot experts also note an increase in requests for combined cruise tours in Egypt. Their uniqueness lies in the integrity of the product, combining a cruise, a land program, with selected transfers and hotels, a Russian-language service and an excursion program thought out to the smallest detail.
“Many agents now have a request for comfortable foreign products with Russian-language support and excursion service.
We see interest in the novelty of the season from the Constellation operator – cruises in China,” added Elvira Speshilova, head of the development department of the Infoflot agency network.
A cruise trip to China on a 5* ship is a real booking hit for 2025. This cruise will also be divided into two parts – a cruise on the Yangtze River and a land cruise in Shanghai and Beijing with hotel accommodation.
New expedition destinations: cruises in the Far East on the research vessel Professor Khromov, trips to the North Pole on the icebreaker 50 Years of Victory, luxury expeditions around the world on Swan Hellenic liners and Arctic expeditions on the ship Sea Spirit are also of interest to demanding tourists.
As the range of offers is actively growing, Infoflot helps all agents to understand the nuances of new cruise products. To help agents expand their product range, Infoflot will hold an online festival on October 15 and 16. Its main theme will be luxury cruises, selective itineraries and expeditions. Participation is free, registration via the link.
