The exercise of the economic and social functions of maritime tourism has undergone significant changes in recent years. A case in point is the development of the maritime cruise fleet, in both quantitative and qualitative terms, across various regions. This is a result of, among other things, the changing needs of international tourists in particular regions. The worldwide expansion of globalization has also marked a turnaround in preferences, with customers now willing to visit regions formerly unattractive or rarely considered by tourists. These changes are also visible in the variety of transport modalities available to passengers for both domestic and international voyages. To a large extent, these changes stem from technological developments. New possibilities for quick and efficient passenger transport have contributed to transforming maritime tourism in many countries. This, in turn, has led to increasing volumes of tourist traffic, generating economic growth for such nations. This article discusses contemporary trends in the world’s cruise ship fleets in the context of the technical parameters of global cruise shipping. The authors have attempted to determine the basic quantitative parameters and metrics expected for characterizing the global cruise ship fleet. To accomplish this, the method of linear regression has been used, with the input data being the sizes of cruise ship fleets and some other characteristic parameters, during particular time periods, carrying capacities, registered tonnages, numbers of passenger cabins, main and auxiliary engine powers, and levels of fuel consumption. The econometric model of linear regression has allowed calculating the projected values for the nearest future.

Cruise ship tourism is an important segment of the maritime tourism market. “Cruising, according to CLIA (Cruise Line International Association), is one of the safest, most affordable and enjoyable vacation experiences available today and the industry continually reviews best practices and develops innovative technologies to further strengthen its safety record. A record 20 million – plus global passengers went on a cruise in 2012” [1]. In addition, this branch of industry has also generated thousands of jobs at sea and in the ports of calls and has brought huge incomes for local economies in visited tourist destinations. The main objective of this article is to assess the state of development of cruise ships tourism in Poland. In the first part of the article, there are included analysis of the number of cruise ship calls and passengers and there were also presented the largest cruise vessels that have visited seaports in Poland. There is also described the state of preparation of the seaports in Poland to support cruise ships. Moreover, there are also discussed the scope of services of the seaports in Poland, offered to ship-owners and a range of fees which must be borne by them. In addition, there are presented entities involved in handling of cruise ships while staying at the seaports. The article ends with a summary where it was indicated, inter alia, the reasons for the decreasing trend in the number of calls of cruise ships in Polish seaports.

Turystyka morska jest związana z podejmowaniem podróży morskich różnymi środkami transportu. Można wyróżnić następujące jej segmenty: wycieczki pełnomorskie na statkach wycieczkowych, podróże promowe, żeglarstwo morskie, pasażerską żeglugę przybrzeżną. Każdy z tych segmentów charakteryzuje się swoistymi cechami, sposobem podróżowania i zgłaszanym popytem na usługi okołotransportowe. Skutkuje to zróżnicowanym zapotrzebowaniem na usługi branż ją obsługujących. Ponadto rozwój turystyki morskiej powoduje konieczność rozbudowy infrastruktury turystycznej oraz wpływa na rynek pracy. Można więc stwierdzić, że turystyka morska może stać się jednym z czynników korzystnie oddziałujących na rozwój miast i regionów nadmorskich. Celem artykułu jest analiza sektorów turystyki morskiej na obszarze Trójmiasta oraz identyfikacja branż, które bezpośrednio i pośrednio współpracują przy obsłudze turystów morskich. Artykuł jest przyczynkiem do dalszych badań mających wskazać korzyści z rozwoju turystyki morskiej dla Trójmiasta.

Maritime tourism has been growing in Baltic Sea Region for last decade. The average annual growth rate for cruise sector is estimated at 12,8%. In 2012 over 4,2 million cruise passengers visited the Baltic ports. Apart from cruising an important segment of Baltic maritime tourism represents ferry shipping. More than 50 million passengers were transported by ferries last year in main international and domestic services. One can put an argument that cruise and ferry shipping determine the development of the cities in BSR. The purpose of the paper is to analyse and evaluate the impact of cruise industry on cities of Gdansk and Gdynia. Both cruise and ferry concentrate in these cities and demonstrate dynamic growth resulting in increasing demand for services for passengers – tourists.
