Frequently Asked Questions

What are cruise ship services?

As the name suggests, cruise ship services are services provided on board a cruise ship. Services can include sightseeing tours, 5-star dining and catering as well as regular entertainment with themed events and games. Other lesser-known services include the provision of medical supplies and the installation of important infrastructure on board.

Cruise ship vacations have become increasingly popular in recent years. So, it’s no wonder the services provided onboard have also increased and evolved. From simple home comforts to the height of luxury, most desires can now be satisfied onboard a modern cruise ship.

Who is involved in the cruise ship supply chain?

As cruise ships offer a floating resort, they have a massive offering and therefore a big provisioning list. Cruise ships rely on many external suppliers across multiple different industries from catering and medical supplies to the disposal of waste. The supply chain for the cruise can often be interrupted/affected by sea patterns and natural phenomena like weather events, so excellent logistical preplanning is essential.

How big is the cruise industry?

The cruise industry is a multi-billion-dollar sector with many suppliers offering services from top-end luxury to package family holidays. North America and Europe represent the biggest players in the Cruise tourism industry.

Why is the cruise industry growing?

There is a multitude of reasons and factors driving the global growth in cruise tourism. Following the pandemic, the cruise industry has experienced a strong economic recovery as a result of an increase in consumer spending and a gradual increase in luxury lifestyle and leisure travel expenses. There has also been a substantial increase in repositioning cruises, which refers to moving a vessel from one sailing destination to another.

What are cruise industry regulations?

The cruise and shipping industry as a whole is one of the most closely regulated industries in the world. Ships must not only comply with International Maritime laws but also three layers of inspection and enforcement including port states, countries of registration and classification societies. There are several additional regulatory bodies that exist across the world including the CLIA and FMC within the USA.

What facilities need to be managed on a cruise ship?

There are a number of crucial facilities on a cruise ship that requires stringent management and maintenance. These facilities include catering and hospitality facilities as well as medical facilities.
