"Influencers earn money while traveling, and cruise lines gain access to audiences who might never have considered booking a trip. And it's reshaping the industry."
"TikTok videos tagged #cruise have been viewed nearly 39 billion times, reports Bloomberg, citing data from Exolyt. That kind of targeted reach is difficult for traditional advertising to match."
"No one is going to believe Kim Kardashian sails on Virgin Voyages given her lifestyle. Authenticity, they learned, drives bookings, not view counts."
"Influencers get compensated in various ways. Other than earning money from advertising, they are often paid directly by cruise lines to create content for marketing campaigns."
The cruise industry is evolving to appeal to younger audiences after the COVID-19 pandemic. Cruise lines are collaborating with social media influencers to market their experiences. Influencers like Melissa Newman have found significant financial success by creating content about cruises.
