7 High Growth Travel Services Stocks For 2025

2. Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd (NYSE:RCL)

Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd is a cruise company that operates under different brands including Celebrity Cruises, Royal Caribbean International, and Silversea Cruises. The company’s stock was JP Morgan’s favorite pick for 2025 as the investment bank chose RCL in its list of 12 stocks from the consumer space. RCL was given a price target of $253, which the stock hit in the first month of the year after a stellar earnings report.

RCL was able to beat analyst estimates for its Q4 EPS backed by strong bookings demand and the ability to raise prices without losing customers. The earnings report sets the tone for a great year ahead. CEO Jason Liberty is optimistic of a staggering growth in profitability in the year ahead:

2025 is shaping up to be another great year, with expected adjusted earnings growth of 23%, as our commercial and vacation experiences flywheel continues to accelerate the growing preference for our leading brands, the most innovative ships, and world-class private destinations

In addition to the increasing demand, customers are now willing to spend more when on an RCL cruise, helping the company further monetize its existing customers. The firm’s premium offering ‘Celebrity River Cruises’ is also set to start taking bookings this year with an expected launch in 2027.
