“…While the industry has expanded to become global (Charlier and Mccalla, 2006), the North American cruise region is the most significant with respect to passenger embarkations, disembarkations, ports of calls, diversity of cruise itineraries, and the number of vessels dedicated to the region (Miller and Grazer, 2006). This region had an annual growth rate of about 10 percent between 1980 and 2004, and 40% share of all cruises taken in the last 5 years (CLIA, 2010).…”

This study examines passengers' motivations for taking a cruise vacation, their travel-related activities while on vacation, and their preferences to return to each destination for a land-based vacation. The study is based on a survey of cruise passengers on a 10-day itinerary with six ports-of-call from Miami, Florida to the Caribbean. Five underlying dimensions of cruise passengers' motivations were found: Convenience/Ship Based, Exploration, Escape and Relaxation, Social, and Climate. The findings of the study indicate that while the majority of respondents participated in shore excursions and a diverse range of activities in port, they had mixed rankings of destinations on the itinerary. Generally, passengers ranked the more developed destinations higher, spent more money in port, and traveled further from the port area. Furthermore, destinations that were ranked high were also those that respondents indicated preference to return for land-based holidays, suggesting that the satisfaction with a port destination and the activities participated in could influence passengers' intent to return.

“…There also many risks associated with the cruise destination itself including realisation of the fact that cruise tourism is generally seasonal (Charlier & McCalla, 2006). For example, construction of a cruise terminal may not make economic sense unless the terminal is designed as a multi-use facility which can be used throughout the year (McCarthy & Romein, 2012).…”

The growth of cruise tourism worldwide presents cruise destinations with many challenges, including the need for substantial investment in cruise infrastructure. This paper reviews the role and manifestations of power among a wide range of cruise destination stakeholders and the cruise lines with respect to the commercial and political negotiations that arise in relation to this investment. The framework for this review considers (a) type of port (e.g. home/turnaround port or port-of-call); (b) the stakeholders who have an interest in cruise destinations or are impacted by the activities related to them; (c) the cruise destination's stage of development (i.e. proposed, mature or declining); (d) port characteristics and (e) a determination of whether it is the cruise line or the cruise destination who initiates the proposal for cruise infrastructure development. This review makes evident that power is a complex factor, which can be exercised or received, by any of the stakeholders and that power is influenced by a variety of factors and interests.

“…However, Seasonality is one of the main aspects affecting tourism, as mentioned by Amelung, Nicholls, and Viner (2007), Cuccia and Rizzo (2011). The demand and supply of the cruise industry also reflect obvious seasonality (Charlier 1999;Charlier and Mccalla 2006;Rodrigue and Notteboom 2013;Sun, Yip, and Lau 2019).…”

“…Some markets are seasonal, including Alaska, the Northeast Atlantic, and Australia/New Zealand, etc, which are only serviced during their summer months (Rodrigue and Notteboom 2013;Jeronimo and Antonio 2019). Besides, Different markets are seasonal complementarities, because cruise ships can be moved seasonally from one cruise area to another (Charlier 1999;Charlier and Mccalla 2006;Rodrigue and Notteboom 2013). This is also happening in year-round markets.…”
