Yikes. A great way to cut carbon emissions though.

‘For the US economy, much is at stake, with the inbound travel market a major revenue-earner worth $155 billion in overseas visitor expenditure, and with millions of Americans employed in the tourism industry.

‘In 2024, before the Trump administration took office and introduced its extreme version of enhanced vetting, more than 710,000 Australians visited the US, a nearly 17 per cent increase on the previous year.

‘Now the giant French hotel multinational Accor has warned that bookings from Europe to the US for this northern summer’s high season are down 25 per cent. Airlines such as the UK-based Virgin Atlantic are also sounding the alarm to investors.

‘Extraordinarily, in the past week, experts, via the pages of The New York Times and The Washington Post, have been recommending that foreign travellers at least delete “anything you wouldn’t want someone to read or see from your device before visiting the US”.’

Ok this is cool. I like keeping track of all my flights with Flighty (there are other tools like FlightRadar24, FlightMemory, etc.) but this is the first one I have seen coming for #cruises
It is not live yet but they have a signup link for it.

CruiseGlobe will be cool I think when it goes live. Plus Emma Cruises’ thecruisemaps.com is backing it so should be good.

The 1920s

Before the 1920s, shipping companies made their money transporting immigrants to various countries, especially the United States. However, when the USA brought in stricter regulations for immigration many shipping companies turned to cruises to sustain their income. Instead of a means of transport only, the ships became floating hotels.
