AbstractCruise shipping has experienced inconsistent growth since the 1950s but in the 1990s the industry's main market sector - senior citizens - will increase dramatically. Modern luxury cruise vessels will be built to take advantage of the growing demand for quality travel products. The boat itself will provide the tourist resort facilities. Theme cruises and convention cruises will exploit other growing market sectors. High capacity boats, able to compensate for seasonal variation in demand, will have mass market appeal with their wide range of leisure facilities. In conjunction with the airlines the market will expand into ‘fly-cruising’. The potential for expansion in the 1990s is enormous.
