“…The average occupancy of private vehicles is over four pax as these are often vans hired by the passengers and not their own cars. The number of passengers who remain on the cruise ship and do not exit during a cruise call can be significant (Jaakson, ). According to Stefanidaki and Lekakou (), these passengers do not interact with the local system or population. In the case of the studied cruises, 30% of the total passengers stayed on the cruise ship.…”

Cruise tourism has grown rapidly worldwide over the past 30 years. This increase in cruise passengers has brought a set of economic, socio‐cultural, and environmental impacts. In a port context, it is reflected in mobility problems with long waiting times and queues. To assess cruise passenger impacts, a mobility analysis was performed. The results of this analysis demonstrate the importance of the disembarkation operation. Passengers have to be moved in short periods of time. It is vital to organize mobility and to have sufficient transport modes to move passengers to their inland destinations quickly, safely, and efficiently.

“…En la ciudad de Venecia, se pretendía limitar el acceso de cruceros, dado que se encuentra en un ambiente frágil y los buques cada vez de mayor tamaño, navegan en las proximidades de la plaza San Marcos (Soriani et al, 2009) (figura 2) sin embargo, las autoridades locales han hecho caso omiso y el destino, se encuentra envuelto en una etapa temprana del desarrollo insostenible (Stefanidaki y Lekakou, 2014) existiendo cada vez más rechazo social entre los habitantes, los cuales, bajo la plataforma "No Grandi Navi" pretenden paliar la entrada de cruceros. Esta situación de la ciudad, conocida como "Síndrome de Venecia", puede ocurrir en otras ciudades como Barcelona al existir factores de riesgo como pérdida de residentes en el casco histórico o alta concentración de infraestructuras turísticas (Canalis, 2014).…”

Este estudio se sitúa en la literatura sobre la industria de cruceros atendiendo al fenó¬meno waterfront y al desarrollo de una nueva interfaz crucero-ciudad promovida por el turismo de cruceros. Se parte de una hipótesis, el desarrollo de una nueva época del water¬front con la implicación del turismo de cruceros, que incide tanto en el waterfront como en el puerto, bajo el desarrollo de una nueva imagen como puerta de entrada a la ciudad, y la ciudad mediterránea, principalmente su casco histórico, al ser el área cultural atrayente, que forman parte de las intervenciones en la búsqueda de la relación puerto-ciudad. En este sen¬tido, se ponen de manifiesto los impactos positivos y negativos que trae consigo este tipo de turismo, tras estudiar diferentes casos de ciudades portuarias mediterráneas y se concluye, con la propuesta de una integración a través del desarrollo de un Smart Cruise Port en un Smart Destination, que beneficiaría la interrelación crucero-ciudad.

“…The cruise tourism research remains quite fragmented and based on economic impact studies prepared for industry stakeholders [10]. Regarding destination planning and attraction, cruise tourism research analyzed the residents' perception [4,9,[11][12][13][14], the tourists and cruise passengers' crowd perception and satisfaction [15][16][17], the destination communities' driver and stakeholder interrelationships [11,18,19], or the ports' strategies of carrying capacity and competitive factors [7,8,20,21]. Studies highlighted the importance of ports developing marketing strategies to promote lengths of stay [22], the port terminals' factors that matter to the cruise ships and passenger itinerary choice, such as the infrastructure [23], the integration of the port and city [8], the services offered [24][25][26], the experience of the "local flavor" [27] or the cultural capital [11], the local business socio-economic value [9,20,28], and the revitalization of the ports, in order to increase the comfort of the embarking/disembarking which may be difficult to access and, thus, an unfriendly place, eliminating port choice [29].…”

This article argues that the cruise terminal ports play a crucial role in the economic and socio-cultural sustainability of destinations, bridging the onshore tourism offered among cruise companies, global operators, and local business and infrastructures. They support the promotion of local brands and reduce congestion. The impact of crowds on the identity of coastal cities triggered the attention of academia and media, alerting for their negative impact, specifically from the Mediterranean cruises. In parallel, it raised the research interest on cruise tourism carrying capacity and ports planning the integration of cruise tourists’ flow. However, previous studies focused on the residents’ and passengers’ perception of a specific destination, neglecting the port management role. This study aims to clarify the underneath dynamics that allow sustainable cruise–land visit. Employing a qualitative case study approach, it compares data obtained from secondary sources and port executives’ structured deep interviews from two leading transit ports connected with the Mediterranean. Lisbon is amongst the most popular tourism destinations and international cruise terminals; Livorno is a gateway port to Tuscany, mainly Florence and Pisa. Despite their different patterns, in both ports of call, a strong concern with sustainability and a reduced congestion effect are observed from the management actions on promoting the local offer and on revitalizing the terminal infrastructures in order to provide comfort shopping and entertainment amenities to passengers.
