The cruise industry is the fastest growing travel sector in the world. We assign the same priorities to keeping guests and crew healthy, safe and secure, and to protecting the environment as we do to other critical business matters.

This site is where you can learn more about our exciting industry. As a global industry, cruise lines are primarily regulated at the international level, but as our ships visit ports in countries around the world, we also comply with a complex framework of flag state regulations (countries where ships are registered) and port state regulations (countries where our ships visit, such as the U.S.). The cruise industry has evolved to be a leader in innovation and technological advancement. Cruise vacations are fun, safe and offer a wide variety of amenities and recreational activities that appeal to all vacationers. In fact, nearly 13.5 million travelers worldwide enjoyed a cruise vacation in 2009.
