That's good news for UK-quoted stocks, Carnival and Global Ports
Thursday 06 Jul 2017 Author: Lisa-Marie Janes

A large jump in the number of people in the US saying they want to go on a cruise over the next year bodes well for UK-quoted cruise ship operator Carnival (CCL).

The positive trend should also benefit recently-floated business Global Ports (GPH) which owns 14 cruise ports.

Investment bank UBS says 23% of people taking part in its latest leisure survey want to holiday at sea. That compares with 16% in the same survey a year earlier.

More people from the UK also want to take a cruise, namely 15% of respondents from that country versus 10% a year earlier.
