Abstract


The study on cruise tourism is necessary due to the increasing demand for this
relatively new form of tourism, one of the megatrends of tourism development. This paper analyzes the main indicators of the global cruise tourism, highlighting the trends in cruises and the evolution of the cruise tourism market in Romania. The recent trends refer to cruises of shorter duration, combining air-sea arrangements - along with the liberalization of air transport, activity diversification on board, increased interest in theme cruises, and customized cruises.
