Cruise Research Bibliography
In order to aid researchers and facilitate research in cruise tourism an additional section (labelled Cruise Reseach Bibliography) has been added under the 'Research' Tab. It lists cruise papers published in peer reviewed journals since 1983. This list is a result of an ongoing research project conducted by Alexis Papathanassis & Insa Beckmann (Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences).

The Cruise Research Society meets at the 2nd International Cruise Conference
The 2nd ICC was a huge success producing valuable research, contacts and insights for the attendants. At the end of the second day, the Cruise Research Society was introduced to the conference participants.
The interest exhibited and the questions / issues raised, has led the executive board to decide on organising a two-day workshop (with all the members) this year to discuss the society's future development.

The 2nd International Cruise Conference is taking place in Plymouth
The 1st International Cruise Conference (ICC), held at the University of Applied Science, Bremerhaven, addressed emerging concepts and practices that were aimed at managing the cruise industry’s growth and sustainability in the face of upcoming challenges. The 2nd International Cruise Conference, to be held at the University of Plymouth in the UK, seeks to build on the successful outcomes of the inaugural conference and takes as its overarching focus: the cruise industry – emerging issues, problems and solutions.
The conference aims to provide a friendly and welcoming location where cruise professionals and researchers can meet and talk about matters that are of real interest in today’s world. The organisers are designing the event so that it encourages learning and addresses the need to enhance or build on good practice. As such, delegates attending in order to meet Continuing Professional Development needs should find the conference both highly relevant and rewarding. The conference will be structured to provide delegates with choice in relation to the topics that are being covered. The conference will include a variety of sessions that may be based on either professional practice or research.

Cruise Sector Growth: Managing Emerging Markets, Processes & Systems (Papathanassis, A (Ed.)
Contents:
Despite representing a fairly small fraction of global tourism activity, the cruise sector has been experiencing a steady growth rate over the last years. The 1st International Cruise Conference (ICC) and its proceedings documented here face the changes which accompany this process of growth. The corresponding refereed papers are organized under the following themes: New trends and innovations, human resource management, information technology and standardization. The underlying motivation behind this collection of works is to bridge the gap between cruise theory and practice, by providing a ‘living research agenda’ aligned with the cruise sector’s realities and needs.
