Podcast, Season 5 - Episode 4
June 4, 2026
Currently, 100 women in Germany have 135 children; ten years ago, the figure was 159. The increasing childlessness in Germany is primarily an expression of growing insecurity – not a lack of desire for a family. Those who choose not to have children usually cite not just one reason, but a whole range of reservations that reinforce each other. In this episode, learn why cruises are becoming increasingly attractive, how travel behavior is changing – and why the industry needs to reposition itself amidst growth, sustainability, and a new travel culture.
