Leonardo di Caprio
A new study by an independent cruise comparison website has revealed the top 10 celebrities that Britons would most like to go on a cruising holiday with; with Leonardo di Caprio topping the list. Robbie Williams, Peter Kay and Miranda Hart also made the list.
New research from a recently launched cruise comparison website has revealed the top celebrities that Britons would most like to have as a cruising companion. The research of 1,219 Britons has shown that the majority, 73%, would like to cruise with the star of Titanic, Leonardo di Caprio.
The study, conducted by Cruise Compare was part of research into which celebrities Britons would most like to share the experience of a cruising holiday with, whether it be for friendship, or the entertainment value.
The respondents were initially asked the multi-answer question, ‘Which of the following celebrities would you most like to go on a cruise with?’ Leonardo di Caprio topped the poll with 73%, shortly followed by comedian Peter Kay and cruise ship entertainer, Jane Macdonald.
According to the results, below are the top 10 celebrities that Britons would most like to go on a cruise with:
Leonardo di Caprio – 73%
Peter Kay – 69%
Jane Macdonald – 66%
Tom Cruise – 64%
Richard Gear – 61%
Tom Jones – 59%
George Clooney – 54%
Miranda Hart – 51%
Robbie Williams – 48%
Catherine Zeta Jones – 44%
When asked to stipulate why they had chosen certain celebrities, a third, 32%, of the respondents that would like to cruise with Leonardo di Caprio stated that it was because of his role in the Oscar winning film, Titanic; whilst a further 12% said it was for his ‘attractive appearance’.
A quarter, 23%, of the respondents who would like to experience a cruise with Peter Kay, cited that it was for ‘entertainment,’ whilst a further 19% said it was for his ‘friendship’.
Danielle Fear, managing director of CruiseCompare.co.uk, had the following to say:
“This was really fun research to conduct and the results were really interesting. It is funny to see that people associate Leonardo di Caprio with cruising simply because he was the lead role in Titanic. I can see why people would enjoy going on a cruise with Peter Kay; people would never be short of laughs if he was around!”
She continued, "There is a perfect cruise available for everyone; some may prefer high entertainment and celebrity guests, whilst others may prefer floating on the ocean and experiencing breathtaking views with a low-key relaxed atmosphere. Of course, there is a happy medium too, and there is always a cruise that offers a little bit of both worlds.”
