It seems that baby boomers are loving luxury cruises, and as a result the luxury cruise lines are not only managing to hold their own amidst this country's economic difficulties but are actually doing so well they're looking to expand and grow. They're buying new ships, remodeling existing ships, adding new gourmet foods to the menus, adding new ports to the itinerary ... all with the intent focus on attracting the affluent baby boomer group that is currently spending their money on the less premium cruises like Princess and Celebrity. The "in" cruises now are most likely through Regent or the soon-to-be fleet leader, Silversea.

They say once you go luxury cruising, you never go back!
