Abstract

Cruise tourism is an industry with significant growth (17.6 million passengers in 2011). This economic sector, which is currently dominated by North American clients who prefer destinations in the Caribbean Sea, is diversifying throughout the world. The cruise industry is strengthening its position in the Mediterranean and Baltic seas and is increasing deployment in East Asia from the shores of the South China Sea to the major rivers. Between continuity and reconstruction, the cruise industry faces several challenges such as the limits of gigantism (more than 6,000 passengers), its relationship with the host territories (ports of call) and the renewal of product “cruise”.
