everyone talks about "wEaK cOnSuMeR sEnTiMeNt" but be honest… just scroll Instagram for 5 minutes people are still doing luxury trips and cruises that contradiction is interesting, so let's unpack 👇

one company right in the middle of this is Viking Holdings they run premium cruises for boomer travelers with tight capacity, high prices, very different from mass tourism

the real risk isn’t premium travel demand collapsing overnight. it won't. it’s valuation meeting macro reality when consumer confidence falls, markets often compress multiples first, even if earnings hold up so the stock can drop without the business actually breaking.
