However, new research by Slingo shows that gorgeous islands and sunsets still reign supreme when planning a trip these days. According to Slingo, the number one spot for the most popular cruise destination on TikTok goes to the Caribbean, with more than 63.6 million views as of May 2023. The study suggests that it is the natural splendor that puts the region at the top of the list.
Alaska is the second most popular cruise destination with 18.7 million views on TikTok. The Alaskan cruise itinerary often includes generous glimpses of glaciers and wildlife with stops in some of the port towns along the way.
The third most popular cruise destination on TikTok is the Nile River in Egypt with more than 13.1 million views on the app. It should come as no surprise that this destination ranks high due to the abundance of incredible sites along the river. The most popular sites were the Valley of the Kings, the Great Pyramids of Giza and the Sphynx, and the Karnak and Luxor Temples.
The rest of the list included the Mediterranean as the fourth most popular, the Danube River as fifth, followed by Bermuda, Mexico, Miami, Singapore, and the Galapagos Islands.
