Which of These Cruise Stocks Is a Better Buy?
With cautious optimism surrounding the travel industry, let's take a look at two of the world's largest investable cruise companies and how each is prepared to capitalize on a major travel rebound.
Royal Caribbean (NYSE: RCL) operates a global fleet of 64 ships, including the world's largest cruiseliner, the Wonder of the Seas. Royal Caribbean is also the parent company of Celebrity Cruises and Silversea Cruises.
Although Royal Caribbean sails its passengers to roughly 1,000 destinations worldwide, many of these ports cannot accommodate massive cruise ships. This presents a common problem to cruise lines, which often take passengers to private island destinations to avoid busy ports. However, these so-called "private islands" have traditionally been quite minimal: a beach, a bar, and a barbecue.
