1 - DEFINITION OF CRUISE TOURISM:
“Cruise tourism is a luxurious form of travel, involving an all-
inclusive holiday on a cruise ship which can rightly be called
marine resort of at least 48 hours, comprising a specific itinerary,
in which the cruise ship sail on deep seas and calls at several
ports or cities with cultural and historical richness , and
environmental beauty.” Cruise vessels should have a minimum
of 100 passenger capacity and make deep sea voyage for a
minimum of 2 days.

2 - FROM LINER VOYAGES FOR PASSANGERS TO CRUSING
SERVICES FOR TOURISTS
Dedicated transport oriented ocean liners operate ‘’Line
Voyages’’ and typically transport passengers from one point to
another rather than round trips, since passengers do not intend
to turn back on same vessel. This type passenger vessel creates
place and time utility.
4. ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL ASPECTS OF CRUISE TOURISM
AND FACTS OF TURKISH CRUISE SECTOR
A cruise ship or cruise line is a passenger ship (with wide
definition) used for pleasure voyages, where the voyage itself
and the ship’s amenities are part of the experience. Therefore
Cruising services create’’ recreational location ,journey or tour’’
utility.
5. ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL ASPECTS OF CRUISE TOURISM
AND FACTS OF TURKISH CRUISE SECTOR
Customers of the cruising services are called as passengers but
in my judgement they must be called as tourists since they
intend to turn back where they embarked on the vessel.’’
Tourism ‘’is coming from Word of ‘’TORNUS’’ which means
turning back in Latin language. Clearly cruise passengers have
this intention.

3 - CRUISE SHIP AND CRUISE INDUSTRY ARE A RELATIVELY
NEW PHENOMENON BUT MOST POPULAR PART OF TOURISM
SECTOR.
Cruise ship tourism is a relatively new phenomenon, although
ocean passages date to as early as May 1819 when Black Ball
Lines operating out of New York, became the first Shipping
company to offer a scheduled passenger service from the US to
England.
In the second half of 20’th century cruise holidays grew in
popularity, yet remained with the affluent (rich) and late middle-
aged demographic groups. Today, average age of cruise
travelers has diminished significantly.
7. ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL ASPECTS OF CRUISE TOURISM
AND FACTS OF TURKISH CRUISE SECTOR
The sector then saw an unprecedented growth from the 1970’s
and 1980’s but leveled to an annual growth rate of %8 in the
1990’s, and %7.2 per annum from 1990 up to now. Since 1990
over 200 million passengers have cruised. %70 of these
passengers have been generated in the past 10 years and nearly
% 40 in the past 5 years. (Source CLIA 2015 Outlook)

4 - DIVERSIFICATION ON CRUISE SECTOR
As mentioned above, growth in cruise ship tourism has
remained, but its products have been diversified. Entertainment
on board is much more larger scale and includes casino, spa,
fitness center, shops, library, theatre with Broadway style,
cinema, indoor and /or outdoor swimming pool with water
slides, gym, basketball courts , congress, time share
ownership of cabin by elder passengers etc.
9. ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL ASPECTS OF CRUISE TOURISM
AND FACTS OF TURKISH CRUISE SECTOR
As addition to above; it could include education, religious tour
and cultural offerings, interactive entertainment supported by
technology (e.g. I phone applications), food themed cruises,
signature restaurants and celebrity chefs and major events (e.g.
Dancing with the Stars)
Diversification also led to development of increase in cruise ship
capacities including superliners that host up to 6300
passengers. But said big vessels have not been able to sweep
away small cruise vessel from sector. Small vessel is also in
popular for themed or special cruise services.

5 - SPECIALTY CRUISE CONTINUES TO THRIVE
Special segments which include sophisticated ships, luxury
yachts, elegant ocean liners and newest river cruises, polar
cruises continue to experience double digit passenger growth.
This segment grew by 21 percent annually from 2009 to 2014
estimates.

6 - MAIN FACTS OF CRUISE SECTOR FROM 2010 TO 2015
−23 Million passenger are expected to sail this year with 54
percent of North American (as per CLIA), but according to Cruise
Market Watch forecasts; it will be 22.2 Million passenger by %3.2
increase over 2014
−Cruise lines are enticing travelers with nearly 1000 ports of call
in world including new, exotic locations especially fast growing
Asian Market.
12. ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL ASPECTS OF CRUISE TOURISM
AND FACTS OF TURKISH CRUISE SECTOR
− CLIA (Cruise Lines İnternational Association) member cruise
lines are scheduled to debut 22 new ocean/river and specialty
ships ın 2015 for a total investment of more than $4 Billion.
− The cruise industry this year will have economic impact
globally. In 2013 the global economic impact output of the
cruise industry was more than $117 Billion; the industry
supported nearly 900.000 jobs and contributed $38 Billion in
wages.

AND FACTS OF TURKISH CRUISE SECTOR
6.1-
−-Caribbean continues to be QUEEN; The Caribbean remains
queen for the Cruise Industry with more than a third of
deployment capacity market share in 2015.
−-THE MEDITERRANEAN CONTINUES TO GROW AS A
DESTINATION AS WELL AS OTHER REGIONS INCLUDING ASIA
AND AUSTRALIA(Far East, the Poles, the Baltic Sea Region, the
Arabian Peninsula, the Red Sea and especially
MEDITERRANEAN are new destinations after conventional
destination of North/South America and Tropical Islands)
−In 2015 52 vessels will provide 1065 Asian Cruises with
capacity for 2.17 Million passengers.
14. ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL ASPECTS OF CRUISE TOURISM
AND FACTS OF TURKISH CRUISE SECTOR
− The average length of cruises is over 7 days (7.2 days) but
young passengers prefer short periods
− TODAYS AVERAGE CRUISER IS 49 YEARS OLD (More than
one quarter equal or more than 60
years).MARRIED.EMPLOYED FULL TIME.COLLAGE
EDUCATED AND INCOME 114.000 YEARLY.
− 5-6 years ago average age of cruiser was more than what
given above, but now rich and younger peoples are also
interested with cruise
− USA has a dominant role and share in cruise activities as
being passengers and rendering cruise services. 17 of biggest
Cruise lines are owned by American corporations.
15. ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL ASPECTS OF CRUISE TOURISM
AND FACTS OF TURKISH CRUISE SECTOR
− Cruise sector is a closed market, it is difficult to enter into this
market since it necessitates $30-40 Million for a vessel with a
capacity of 200-300 passengers , and $400-600 Million for a
vessel with passenger capacity of around 2500-3000. Shore
based facilities require 3 times less investment compared to
cruise investments. But they have tax and opex cost
advantages by operating vessel under flag of convenience
countries.

10 - FACTS OF TURKISH CRUISE SECTOR;
The total cruise passenger visits (movements) at the Turkish
Cruise ports reached 2.240.776 passenger by 1572 Cruise calls in
2013. But this figure decreased to 1.790.125 passenger and 1385
calls in 2014 due to economic crises of the world and region
especially economic crises in Greece and strikes at Piraeus Port
since cruise vessel calling Turkish ports starts voyage from this
port. Cruise lines by taking into account these negative factors,
shifted their voyages to the West med and Turkish cruise sector
was affected adversely by said decision. Following graph
illustrates this situation

Most of the Turkish Cruise ports were privatized with in last 10
years, and new owners of these ports have rehabilitated and
modernized said ports by heavy investments especially in
respect of ISPS Security Code point of view and other facilities.
-Turkish port generally visited by the %11 of the world total
cruise passengers
-%20 of the Turkish tourism revenues originated from maritime
tourism also cover cruise revenues.
31. ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL ASPECTS OF CRUISE TOURISM

-There are no Turkish Flag Cruise vessels and Turkey is not
active on cruise vessel operation. But Turkey is being
recognized as a desired destination and a home port of foreign
cruise vessels. Turkey offers cruise passengers a wide range of
riches such as history, cultural heritage, good climate, crystal
waters where tourists can enjoy diving and swimming,
hospitality, natural values, entertainment, religious tour, 8.333
km un-spoilt coastlines, rich cuisine and foods, shopping etc.
Now cruise lines decided to start their tours from Istanbul, in this
context Royal Caribbean declared that they will start Greek
Island, Adriatic and Mediterranean tours from Istanbul as home
port(in/out) within coming days, like Italian Costa did last year.

14- NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE IMPACT OF CRUISE TOURISM
FIRST POSITIVE IMPACT
- ECONOMIC IMPACT OF CRUISE INDUSTRY.
The Cruise Industry is an increasing economic force at least for
some countries and some port of the World. According to CLIA
2013 Report; in 2012 the US Cruise Industry contributed more
than $42 Billion to the American Economy.
As per new report of the CLIA; in 2103 the global economic
output of the cruise industry was more than USD 117 Billion; the
industry supported nearly 900.000 jobs, and contributed USD 38
Billion in wages.
43. ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL ASPECTS OF CRUISE TOURISM
AND FACTS OF TURKISH CRUISE SECTOR
THE CRUISE INDUSTRY THIS YEAR WILL HAVE POSITIVE
ECONOMIC IMPACT GLOBALLY
Cruise passengers spend on board and at shore, while they
spend their money on board to serve interest of cruise lines,
but when they spend at shore contribute to the national
economy of the port which they visit. Average expenditures of
one cruise passenger on board is around $1719, in this context
economic potential of cruise tourism is around $36 Billion
just in respect of expenditures on board.(This year this figure
will be $40 Billion) A cruise passenger spends 3 times more in
comparison to any other shore based tourist.
44. ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL ASPECTS OF CRUISE TOURISM
AND FACTS OF TURKISH CRUISE SECTOR
14.1 CONTINUE
As addition to above, said passengers and crew create economic
benefit for the calling port of the cruise vessel by their expenses
on shore.
For example; in Turkey while cruise tourist spends $120 -150 per
day at port , ordinary shore based tourist spends $50 -55per day,
as addition to cruise passengers , cruise crew also spends an
average of $70 per day. In the light of these facts cruise
passengers and crew serve the interest of Turkish economy
around 400 million per annum at Turkish Cruise ports.
It is expected that cruise passengers and crews will spend $19.5
Billion at calling ports/Cities in 2015 globally

According to MedCruise; The Typical Cruise Ship carrying 2250
passengers and 480 crew members conservatively generates
$225.596 in passenger and crew expenditures during a single
port of call visit.
According to CLIA Europe estimates cruise sector generates
more than 15.5 Billion Euros in direct expenditures throughout
Europe. These expenditures are broadly distributed across four
major source segments

between passengers coming from different countries.
2-Also it helps the older people to socialize; rich elderly
population in the future days will prefer to live on board of cruise

LAST ONE IS NEGATIVE IMPACT
Negative aspects of the cruise industry are summarized below;
-THE RISK OF ILLNESS
Any time large groups of people congregate in a relatively small
space, there is always the possibility of disease. On cruise ships,
the most common afflictions are food borne ailments like E coli
Legionnaire’s disease. In 2013 norovirus (a highly contagious
infection) most commonly known as a’ ’stomach bug’’ swept
through at least two different cruise ships resulting in hundreds
of people sick with vomiting diarrhea.
52. ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL ASPECTS OF CRUISE TOURISM
AND FACTS OF TURKISH CRUISE SECTOR
-POLLUTION BY BUNKER
Cruise Ships created an enormous amount of pollution in the
past, but it’s this negative impact is minimized by the effort of
the International and Regional Governmental and Non-
governmental Organization like IMO (MEPC), UNEP, FOE (Friends
of the Earth) etc.
53. ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL ASPECTS OF CRUISE TOURISM
AND FACTS OF TURKISH CRUISE SECTOR
Cruise ships’ engines require immense amounts of fuel to move,
the famous QE II required nearly 400 liters of fuel to move a
single mile and went through 433 tons of fuel a day, so this
cause air pollution in respect of Sulphur dioxide, NOX, Carbon
dioxide, Particulars which are cause acid rain. As well as sea
pollution by discharge of bilge water.
In general ,a ship treats bilge water before discharging it, but
could be cases of irresponsible ocean dumping.
54. ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL ASPECTS OF CRUISE TOURISM
AND FACTS OF TURKISH CRUISE SECTOR
But as mentioned above this pollution effect of cruise ships has
been minimizing by the new regulations, like Marpol 73 and its
Protocol and Annexes
UNSUFFICIENTLY TREATED EXHOUST,BILGE, AND SEAWAGE
TANK WATER OF THE CRUISE SHIPS CAN CREATE AIR AND
WATER POLLUTION POTENTIALLY. CAUSING A HOST OF
UGLY ENVIRONMENTAL AND HEALTH EFFECTS. THAT
UNDERMINE THE VERY NATURAL BEAUTY THAT CRUISE
SHIPS ADVERTISE TO POTENTIAL TRAVELERS.
55. ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL ASPECTS OF CRUISE TOURISM
AND FACTS OF TURKISH CRUISE SECTOR
-POLLUTION BY SEAWAGE
A cruise ship carrying 3000 passengers generates approximately
800.000 liters of raw sewage throughout the course a week.
According to a recent EPA Survey of cruise boats operated in
Alaska; cruise ships are generating an average of 21.000 gallon
of sewage a day. Those ships also produce daily average of
170.000 gallons of gray water which contain detergents, oil,
grease and food waste.
56. ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL ASPECTS OF CRUISE TOURISM
AND FACTS OF TURKISH CRUISE SECTOR
Despite of sewage tank contents are subjected to a treatment
before being dıscharged in to the sea, create some pollution due
to reason ineffective treatment. For the most part, ships are able
to dump their raw sewage directly in to the ocean provided they
are more than about five kilometers (3 Miles) from shore.
AS A RESULT CRUISE VESSEL CARRIES THOUSANDS OF
PASSENGERS. EACH OF WHOM PRODUCES A PERSONAL
WASTE STREAM THAT CAN END UP IN THE OCEAN.

DISCHARGE.
Discharging of the any clean ballast water which taken from one

invasions causing major ecological impact.
The spread of invasive species is now recognized as one of the
greatest threats to the ecological and the economic wellbeing of

-EMPLOYMENT OF THE CHEAP LABOR FORCE
As we mentioned above Cruise lines operated their vessel under
Flag Of Convenience Countries, therefore they have the ability to
recruit workers with very low wages often. Employees are
recruited from poor nations in Asia, Central America and Eastern
Europe by one year long engagement. Some of them are making
contract with very low salary per month and long working hours
per weeks.
Anyhow MLC Convention of ILO and ITF are combating this type
of abusement of Labor Rights
