When it comes to departures, Florida is the leader for premium cruise passengers, with Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Port Canaveral leading the way. Vancouver, Miami and Southampton are the most popular places to set sail from among luxury travelers while river cruisers prefer to embark from European cities such as Amsterdam, Basel and Budapest. The most popular ports visited among premium guests include Cozumel, Nassau and CocoCay while luxury passengers would rather visit Alaska—Ketchikan, Sitka and Hubbard Glacier are the most popular. River cruise guests have set their sights on Europe, meanwhile, specifically Cologne, Vienna and Budapest.
