OH, THE NEW PLACES WE WILL GO

CONCLUSION
 Present- day cruise ships are organized much like
‘floating hotels’.
 There is an endless chain of entertainment activities
on these ships, the range including dance classes,
classical music , casino lessons and so on.
 Though cruises have all the features to fulfil someones
need but cruising is still a niche product for a
particular market like India where people are not very
well aware from this segment.
 The marketing of cruise tourism has to be undertaken
as a multi-pronged effort.
