The art of persuading cruise lines to schedule more calls at your port or destination is the same as that required to come out of an interview with a job offer: you need to learn as much about their business as possible before you apply.

Some cruise companies have lots of brands; some only have one. Some brands have lots of ships; some only have one. Some have only mega-ships; some only have yacht-sized ones; some have a mix of both.

Their passengers also come in all different nationalities, age and income groups.

There is a lot to learn and, with new brands and ships being introduced on a regular basis, it is hard for anyone to keep up but it is vital for your own business that you do.

For there are three main reasons a cruise line selects a port for a call (and then keeps coming back):

1. Affordable port fees and charges2. High passenger appeal and satisfaction levels

And3. High revenues from shore excursion sales

They always say that 2 is the most important factor but really it is 2 and 3 combined.

So, to secure the calls you want, you need to know what will make the passengers of an individual company, brand or ship want to come to your destination, enjoy it and book lots of tours.

So Seatrade has used its unparalleled experience and expertise in the global cruise world to provide information in this Whitepaper that will help you do just that.

Featuring 57 brands and 290 ships (plus 72 on order/new builds) under the industry’s own categories: Contemporary (mass-market/3 star-plus); Premium (Four star); Premium-plus (Four star-plus); Luxury (Five Star) as well as those operating in Budget or other market niches.

Read and keep this Whitepaper to ensure you don’t fail your next interview.

*To P&O Cruises Australia (2019)

Where they cruise nowCaribbean and Central America, Australia and Pacific, Mediterranean, Bermuda, Canada/New England and Alaska.

CrewMulti-national and ranging from 900 to 1,400 on the different-sized ships.

Key passenger characteristicsPrimarily English-speaking with North Americans dominating except on cruises from Australia where Australians are largest single group on board. Average age in the 40s but with many families, particularly on Caribbean cruises where high activity-based tours are big sellers. Drawn from the lower end of the income bracket, they will still spend big on retail and f&b if prices are perceived as high value.

*Ship joins Thomson Cruises April 2017 as TUI Discovery 2

Where they cruise nowCaribbean and Central/South America, Australasia and South Pacific, ex-UK and Europe (Northern and Mediterranean), Bermuda, Canada/New England, Alaska, Arabian Gulf and Asia.


Key passenger characteristicsPrimarily English-speaking with North Americans usually dominating but British in majority on cruises from UK, Australians on those from Australian ports. Brazilians on ex-Brazil itineraries and Chinese on ex-China cruises. Average age is in the mid to late 40s but the Chinese are significantly younger and generally the line attracts many families, particularly on its largest ships which have multiple activities. Tours ashore have to be particularly innovative to compete with on-board attractions.

Where they cruise nowCaribbean and Central/South America, Arabian Gulf, Asia/China, Europe.


Key passenger characteristicsPrimarily European (Italians, Germans, French and Spanish) with some North Americans and British so multi-lingual guides needed in transit ports. The three “neo” ships operate itineraries with longer day stays and more overnights in port so evening shore tours are also required. Brazilians are main source for cruises based in their country as China is also main market for ships homeported there. Apart from much younger Chinese and Brazilian passengers, average age is late-40s with many children travelling in school holidays.

AIDAvita 1,582 42,300 202.8 6.3

Where they cruise nowPrimarily from German ports into Northern and Western Europe and Scandinavia with a new seven-day year-round programme from Hamburg. The ships also cruise round-Britain, Mediterranean, Canaries, Caribbean, Central/South America, Arabian Gulf and Asia.

CrewMulti-national but with Germans the largest nationality group. Numbers range 300-700 on the different-sized ships but there is about 1,000 on the new AIDAprima and even more on the two 5,000-passenger ships on order.

Key passenger characteristicsAlmost all passengers are German with the rest from other German-speaking countries such as Austria and Switzerland so transit destinations face demand for German-speaking guides on shore tours and information staff for crew. Average passenger age is mid-40s and, although the newer larger ships attract a broader demographic, the brand emphasis is still on wellness and activity tours (cycling etc) ashore.

CrewMulti-national but with predominantly US cruise entertainment and hosting staff. Numbers range 950-1,450 on the different-sized ships.

Key passenger characteristicsPredominantly North American passengers for an English-speaking product. Multi-generational family groups make up a significant group of passengers but – outside school holidays – the ships also carry many adult couples without children. Disney “imagineers” become more involved in the creation of brand-specific (“Disneyfied”) shore tours than staff from any other cruise line.

Key passenger characteristicsAsian (predominantly Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean) with some Indians and a few Western travellers combining Asian land holidays with short cruises.

Most look for tours with plenty of sights and shopping stops and preferably lunch-included.

Key passenger characteristicsGerman or German-speaking (Austrian, Swiss, Italian).
