Cruising refers to the act of going on a trip on a cruise ship, which is simply a ship for going on relaxation voyages. The voyages can last for a few days at sea or take years.
Countries that could afford Cruising
Data from 2016 shows that the United States has the highest number of people who went on cruise ships, about 11.5 million, while China is a distant second with only 2.1 people in the same year.

Compare to Countries with STEM Graduates
Compares with General Tertiary Education
The overwhelming of people taking cruises are from the United States (partly due to Americans sending their companies overseas and having them sending back huge profits) while those who invests in talents via educational development, especially STEM, are mainly from China, at 37 percent. It’s just naturally that the future belongs to China in innovation and production.
