Global Economic Dimension of the Cruise Line Industry
?The passenger cruise industry is an exciting, modern and rapidly
expanding global industry. During the current decade, the cruise
industry has continued to expand its capacity and develop new cruising
opportunities for vacationers. According to the World Trade
Organization (WTO), world demand reached 8.7 million passengers in
1999. The North American market covers 2/3 of the global volume,
primarily due to the renaissance of the cruising destinations in the
Caribbean. By 2010, total cruise passengers worldwide are forecasted
to grow from 9.8 million last year, to 20.7 million. Within these
figures, the North American market is projected to rise from 6.8
million to 11.9 million and mainland Europe will grow from 1.3 million
to 5.3 million, demonstrating that the cruise industry is a dynamic
sector of the global economy.?

?The cruise industry is poised to shatter the 10 million passenger
mark by the end of 2004, Mark Conroy, chairman of the Cruise Lines
International Association (CLIA) told attendees at this year?s
Seatrade Cruise Shipping Conference.?
?Today?s cruise industry is riding a wave of strong consumer demand,
improving economic conditions in North America and growing consumer
recognition of cruising?s broad appeal and high guest-satisfaction
levels. By maintaining current occupancy rates, CLIA member cruise
lines have the potential to host 10.6 million vacationers in 2004, an
increase of 1.1 million passengers, or 11.5 %, from the industry?s
record-setting total of 9.5 million guests in 2003. One-half of all
2004 passengers will be cruising for the first time, said Conroy.?

?A record 9.52 million worldwide guests enjoyed cruise vacations in

The 2003 passenger figures were included in fourth-quarter totals

cruise capacity marketed in North America. In addition to the
worldwide totals, CLIA?s member lines also posted significant growth
among guests originating in North America. Nearly 8 million North
Americans sailed aboard CLIA member line ships in 2003, a 6.9%
increase compared with the nearly 7.5 million who cruised in 2002.
CLIA member line ships also attained a 102.6% load factor in 2003
(compared with 98.6% in 2002), demonstrating the robust demand for
cruise vacations and the industry?s ability to fill new capacity.?

?More than 7.6 million North Americans are estimated to have cruised
in 2002 ? including 7.47 million on Cruise Lines International
Association (CLIA) member line ships ? surpassing industry
expectations and setting yet another record, according to CLIA, the
non-profit marketing organization that represents 25 North American
cruise lines.?
?They were part of a worldwide total of 8.66 million cruise guests
hosted by CLIA member lines last year. This represents a 15.5 percent
increase (over the 2001 number of 7.49 million) in worldwide guests
sailing on CLIA member cruise lines at an average 2002 industry
utilization of 97 percent.?
?Despite the challenges we faced in 2002, the industry not only met

Sailing Regions
---------------
- The Caribbean/Bahamas is the largest and takes 50% of all the cruise
capacity in 2004, up 5% from 2003.
- The second largest region is the Mediterranean, with 15% of the
total capacity, down 6% from 2003.
?Alaska has the third largest deployment with a 6.7 percent share of
the capacity, up seven percent over 2003.
The Mexican Riviera has become the fourth most popular destination,
with 6.6 percent of the capacity in 2004, up 41 percent, compared to
2003, when the west coast of Mexico was ranked sixth.
Western and Northern Europe will see five percent of the fleet
capacity deployed in their waters this summer, up 20 percent over last

Five percent of the worldwide capacity is deployed in the Asia/Pacific
region in 2004, down 15 percent from 2003.
After the six major sailing regions, other major areas include Hawaii,
with a 1.9 percent market share, up 14 percent over 2003; Bermuda,
with 1.8 percent and no change; and the East Coast of North America,
which will also see a substantial increase in 2004, up 32 percent over
2003, for a 1.6 percent market share.
The trans-Atlantic market will also see a boost, up 17 percent over
2003, mostly due to the added capacity of the QM2. But only 1.3
percent of the worldwide cruise capacity will sail trans-Atlantic in
2004.?
