“…Consequently, the local community has limited involvement. Therefore, there is a demand for greater, more responsible power and profit sharing between the cruise liner and local stakeholders (Da Cruz, 2018; Del Chiappa and Abbate, 2016; Font et al, 2016; Hritz and Cecil, 2008; Klein, 2011; London and Lohmann, 2014; Lopes and Dredge, 2018; MacNeill and Wozniak, 2018; Renaud, 2017). This has been confirmed in Norway (Larsen and Wolff, 2016), in Denmark (Lopes and Dredge, 2018), in Italy (Del Chiappa and Abbate, 2016), in Mexico (Jaakson, 2004) and in a local market in Oman (Gutberlet, 2016b).…”

“…The researchers suggest that cruise liners should find opportunities to steadily create value for the society. In this line of thought, Da Cruz (2018) and Renaud (2017) question the territorial expansion and power of cruise liners within a destination. Sustainable cruise tourism development is seen as ‘very difficult’, requiring ‘collaborative policy-making among local authorities, government agencies, businesses and host communities, who must work together to plan and regulate the development’ (Del Chiappa and Abbate, 2016: 1381).…”

“…Vanolo and Cattan (2017) investigated visual representations of cruise experiences in promotional brochures, focusing on gender and mobility. Most articles focus on the economic, social and environmental impacts of cruise tourism (Cusano et al, 2017; Gutberlet, 2016b; Hritz and Cecil, 2008; Larsen et al, 2013; Larsen and Wolff, 2016; Lűck et al, 2010; MacNeill and Wozniak, 2018) the globalization and its effects on the production and consumption on board (Da Cruz, 2018; Wood, 2000) as well as on the work environment on board (Gibson, 2008; Weaver, 2005a). However, the real, lived on-site experiences of tourists on-shore are absent.…”

With the increase in large-scale cruise tourism worldwide, researchers have highlighted the inauthenticity of the cruise experience and the reconstruction of space. This research deals with new aspects: fast tourism through time-space compression, and the formation of enclosed, customized ‘tourist bubbles’ that confine the tourists and promote a constructed authenticity of the experience on-shore. The second aim is to advance applied research in slower cruise excursions, especially in emerging cruise destinations. The research is based on extensive field work conducted during nine cruise-excursions to the sand desert and an oasis in the Sultanate of Oman. Oman is in the early stages of developing mega-cruise tourism while having received little attention in tourism research. For this study, in-depth interviews were conducted with German-speaking cruise tourists, cruise employees as well as with local cultural brokers and the Minister of Tourism. Moreover, participant observation, travel ethnography and photography were applied. Results indicate while moving from one customized ‘tourist bubble’ to the next one, time is controlled and enhanced through fast modes of transportation and a tight schedule of the excursion. The tourists and their cultural brokers are ‘contained’ in time and space, while some are struggling for more authentic experiences. They are shielded off from the local environment, ‘grazing’ destinations within a short time.
