Yacht renting is passé

Renting a private yacht to enjoy the open sea is so passé...

These days, the trend is something much bigger - renting the entire cruiser! All those who are rich, famous and celebrities, have all their celebrations on a cruiser. One trip on a rented cruise ship can cost from 500,000 to one million dollars, but cruisers are much more exciting and interesting. One millionaire had rented Windstar cruise ship Star Breeze, which has enough space for 212 people, so he could treat his 200 close friends during the Monaco Grand Prix. Not only he organized party on deck, he organized watching the races and some truly luxurious amenities for his friends, like driving vintage cars one day before the end of this popular race.

Cruise ships are something like a golden goose. They are a lot better and more positive market compared with cruiser lines for travelers who are paid per capita. For example, Crystal Esprit received around 6,230 dollars for the trip from Athens to Dubrovnik from each of their passengers, which came to around 467,250 dollars a week, while in the same period of time, for renting the entire cruise, they can make half a million dollars or more. There is significant growth in this sector of the market, and therefore the big names followed a real example. The French company Ponant Cruises and Royal Caribbean also joined the party.

Of course, for those who rent, cruisers are far better option than renting yachts. When you rent a cruise ship, you get the all-inclusive option, so you have no extra cost for food and beverages, taxes, entertainment or fuel consumption.

So, if you notice that a cruise ship has a couple of "holes" in its schedule, know that it is probably rented by a millionaire or a billionaire, to celebrate an important moment of their life. We expect the same will soon play in the air, and then you'll have the option to rent A380 plane for the same reason. It’s just how the world works - it gives the opportunity to enjoy, to all those who can afford.
