Inside the ‘arms race' to win the new luxury cruise ship market
Once viewed by wealthier vacationers as mass market, déclassé venues for watery cocktails, garish waterslides, buffet stampedes and Norovirus outbreaks, cruises are now chic. Everyone from Martha Stewart and Tom Brady to Kendall Jenner and Dakota Johnson was onboard the Ritz's recent launch of Luminara, the hotel brand's new ship, which has been floating around the Mediterranean. Savvy investors and luxury brands are recognizing cruises as the next frontier for high-end travel. Advertisement 5 'There is an arms race between high-end hotels to get into the luxury cruise space,' Jim Murren, CEO of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection told me. The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection/INSTARimages The billionaire Francois Pinault, whose family has owned French cruise line Ponant for a decade, bought a majority stake in the luxe cruise line Aqua Expeditions earlier this year. Bernard Arnault and LVMH have invested in an Orient Express ship that is currently under construction and set to be delivered next year. Advertisement Following in the Ritz's wake, in 2026, the Waldorf Astoria will wet its feet in the cruise space with a Nile River trip launching, while the Four Seasons will set sail in the Caribbean and Mediterranean. The Aman will hit the high seas with a 50-suite ship in 2027. 'There is an arms race between high-end hotels to get into the luxury cruise space,' Jim Murren, CEO of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection told me. 5 Martha Stewart was one of the celebrity guests on the recent Ritz-Carlton cruise. Martha Stewart/Instagram For the hospitality companies, it's an easy way to enter a new and growing market — luxe cruises are expected to expand from $10.5 billion this year to $19.8 billion by 2033 according to Business Research Insights — while relying on the safety of their existing brand. Advertisement 'If you're a new entrant who has decided to get into a new product, it is far easier with a known branch attached like a luxury hotel — people will pay 15% more if there is a name like Ritz Carlton attached,' Richard Clarke, a senior analyst for global hotels, cruise lines & online travel at Bernstein told me. 'It is a well trodden path to expand beyond your core product and see what else you can do.' Various luxury hotel companies have recently launched high-end clothing lines, bedding collections, and bags, while branded residences have been popular for years. 5 The Aman will hit the high seas with a 50-suite ship in 2027. Aman 'The fact it's all coming at once is proof the concept works … and the high-end consumer has never been more attractive,' Clarke said. Advertisement Unlike mega-cruise ships, which can't reach more intimate ports and can hold more than 4,000 passengers, most of these high-end vessels are nimble enough to reach harder-to-get-to destinations like St. Barth's in the Caribbean or Capri in the Mediterranean. Ritz's new boat, Luminara, accommodates just 452 guests while another of its ships, Evrima, has room for only 298 guests. The Ritz ships include restaurants designed by Michelin-starred chefs, sprawling suites, extensive spas, infinity pools, marinas with water sports galore and art collections that feature works from Andy Warhol, Henri Matisse and Alexander Calder. 5 Billionaire Francois Pinault owns French cruise line Ponant. Ponant Ponant's ships — which have room for fewer than 40 guests — even offer an underwater lounge with ocean views. Ponant is known primarily for exploring far-flung destinations like Antarctica and the North Pole, while Aqua Expeditions goes to remote rivers like the Amazon and Mekong. The upcoming cruises from the Aman, Four Seasons, the Orient Express and Waldorf Astoria will feature sprawling suites and amenities such as a Japanese Zen garden and a jazz club. This story is part of NYNext, an indispensable insider insight into the innovations, moonshots and political chess moves that matter most to NYC's power players (and those who aspire to be). Most of these trips start around $20,000 per week and go up in price from there depending on factors like the size of your room and how much caviar you order. Advertisement While it's not surprising companies would jump on this growing market, it has surprised me how quickly travelers have embraced it. Just why — apart from a barrage of influencers posting about their trips — are these vacations catching on? 5 Jeff Bezos' sailing boat Koru is one of the largest in the world at 417 feet. AbacaPress / Part of it is very careful branding of these cruises. In marketing materials, the vessels are referred to as yachts not cruise ships. Silver-haired retirees have been swapped out for glam influencers, models, and movie stars. Advertisement 'The fact that yachts are splashed across tabloids makes it seem like it is the kind of vacation you should take,' Clarke noted. For multi-millionaires who dream of being billionaires (or at least scoring an invite on one of their yachts), the new upscale cruise is a way to have a private yacht experience without buying one themselves — ala Jeff Bezos or David Geffen — or paying six figures to charter a vessel. They're perfect for the Instagram era where everyone wants to 'show some rail' — a reference to the myriad photos taken in front of the enclosure on the ship. Advertisement 'It's an entirely new category, designed for travelers who seek the privacy and exclusivity of a yacht charter, paired with the elevated service and amenities of a luxury resort-at-sea,' Murren said.

US hotel room construction hits 20-quarter low: CoStar
This story was originally published on Hotel Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Hotel Dive newsletter. Dive Brief: The volume of U.S. hotel rooms under construction decreased year over year for a sixth consecutive month in June, according to new CoStar data. As of last month, there were 138,922 U.S. hotel rooms under construction, a 20-quarter low, according to Isaac Collazo, senior director of analytics at CoStar subsidiary STR. The volume of rooms under construction decreased 11.9% year over year in June, per CoStar. The continued decline is not surprising given 'hotel demand trending downward, unrelenting economic uncertainty and rising construction costs,' Collazo said. Most of the rooms under construction are in the upscale and upper upscale segments, which STR previously forecasted would see the highest RevPAR growth this year, driven by changing traveler behavior. Dive Insight: The volume of U.S. hotel rooms under construction has decreased each month since January, coinciding with President Donald Trump's second term. In those months, U.S. government actions have caused economic uncertainty, and tariffs have negatively impacted construction pipelines. The volume of U.S. hotel rooms in final planning (266,276 rooms) also decreased year over year in June, albeit only by 0.1%, according to CoStar. The number of U.S. hotel rooms in the planning stage (349,802 rooms), meanwhile, increased 4.8% year over year in the month. The majority of rooms in the U.S. hotel construction pipeline are in these two planning phases, but 'many will likely not be built in the near future,' Collazo said. Of rooms currently under construction, the majority are in the upscale and upper upscale segments, according to Collazo, who also noted that more than half of all rooms under development are in the South, largely outside of the top 25 markets. Higher-tier hotel segments were a bright spot for the industry last year, driving performance as high-income households prioritized travel. That trend has continued, with high-income households anticipated to make up nearly half of travelers this summer, Deloitte reported in May. Ahead of this year's Memorial Day weekend, travel outlooks appeared mostly stable despite a dip in consumer confidence and dampening international visitation. Last month, however, CoStar and Tourism Economics downgraded their 2025 and 2026 growth projections for U.S. hotel top-line performance metrics, citing elevated macroeconomic concerns.

3 ways to enjoy Tales of the Cocktail, even if you're not an industry insider
New Orleans will be abuzz this week as bartenders, liquor companies, distributors and influencers land in the city for the annual spirits industry conference known as Tales of the Cocktail. Why it matters: The massive event is an important foundation for New Orleans' hospitality during the dog days of summer, plus it's a great opportunity for cocktail lovers to learn more about what's new on the market. The big picture: Founded here, TOTC stretches over a week every July, filling conference rooms at the Ritz-Carlton and bars and restaurants around the city with tastings, panels, presentations and lots and lots of parties. Between official conference events and the myriad parties that brands host alongside it, there are hundreds of opportunities to knock one back while learning something new. By the numbers: The more than 400 individual events for the conference last year provided the city with a $24.8 million economic boost, a press release says, with a 10% year-over-year attendee increase. Between the lines: TOTC caters to industry insiders, but there is still plenty of fun for the average, 21+ consumer to check out. Here are our picks for how anyone can enjoy Tales of the Cocktail, which runs July 20-25. 🍸 Have a taste: If you like to be on the frontlines of what's new, then TOTC tasting rooms are the place to be. Spirits brands take over meeting space at the Ritz all week for tasting events, where brand reps pour samples of their products and share details about how they're made, what they pair well with and other insights. You don't need a full conference pass to attend them. You can buy a Tasting Pass for a single day ($45) or the whole week ($175). Pro tip: If you only go one day, make it Thursday, a conference rep tells us. "The Tasting Room Pass will get you into Meet the Distillers, a fan-favorite experience where you can sample spirits and meet the makers behind them," she says. 📍 Take a tour: As the originator of multiple cocktails, New Orleans is the perfect place to learn more about them, and during TOTC, you can take tours to explore their origins. This year's Tales tours include conversations about the Ramos gin fizz, brandy and bourbon, and gay bars. Tickets are $65. 🐷 Pig out: Pig & Punch is TOTC's last hurrah on Friday, a lively party that puts a bow on an already wild week. The event, hosted by The Bon Vivants, raises money for various charitable causes and includes drinks from guest bartenders and food from Hogs for the Cause. Access is included with tasting passes, a rep says, or tickets can be purchased individually for $44.
