Gen Z is saving the cruise industry

[LONDON] Thom Puiman’s first foray into “seacationing” was a cruise to nowhere in 2020.

The voyage was a socially distanced jaunt from Singapore out into international waters without any stops – a short-term solution for an industry hit hard by the Covid-19 pandemic.

But for Puiman, it sparked what has become a long-term passion. “It was, at the time, the only sense of normalcy for me, and I started loving taking cruises,” he said.
