The cruise industry is the most exciting growth category in the entire leisure market. Since 1990, the industry has had an average annual passenger growth rate of 7.4% per annum.
The cruise industry is young. Since 1980, over 150 million passengers have taken a deep-water cruise (2+ days). Of this number, 61% of the total passengers have been generated in the past 10 years. Thirty seven percent of total passengers have been generated in the past five years alone.
The cruise market potential is strong. Over the next three years, 51 million North Americans indicate an intent to cruise. To date, approximately 19.9 % of the U.S. population has ever cruised. By maintaining historical occupancy levels, the cruise industry will welcome 12.8 million guests in 2008.
The cruise product is incredibly diversified with literally a cruise vacation for everyone. Over the past 10 years, the industry has responded to extensive market and consumer research that has guided the addition of new destinations, new ship design concepts, new on-board/on-shore activities, new themes and new cruise lengths to reflect the changing vacation patterns of today’s market.
The cruise industry’s product delivers unparalleled customer satisfaction. Whether a frequent or first-time cruiser, the cruise experience consistently exceeds expectations on a wide range of important vacation attributes. On a comparative basis versus other vacation categories, cruising consistently receives top marks. The on-going challenge for our industry is to convert cruise prospects into new cruisers.
Cruising is an important vehicle for sampling destination areas to which passengers may return. 80% of cruise passengers agree that a cruise vacation is good way to sample destinations that they may wish to visit again on a land-based vacation. Nearly 40% of cruise vacationers state that they returned to vacation at a destination forst visited by cruise.. Cruisers are not exclusively cruisers; rather they are frequent vacationers who cruise as part of their vacation mix.
The North American cruise market is strong across all 50 states and Canada. Today’s array of airlift options and streamlined port processing have opened up cruising as a vacation alternative to more and more individuals. The addition of new North American embarkation ports provides cruise vacationers more options and opportunities to drive versus fly. In fact, 72% of Americans indicate that the convenience of over 30 “Close to Home” North American embarkation ports increases their likelihood to cruise within the next three years.
CLIA Member Lines capacity utilization/deployment. From a capacity standpoint, utilization is consistently over 100%. In 2007 the CLIA industry occupancy rate was 105.7% The Caribbean and Bahamas represents the number one destination with almost 37% of capacity development. The Mediterranean, Europe, Alaska, and Mexico follow the Caribbean in popularity.
CLIA has become one of the largest and most influential travel industry associations. Today, it has 24 member lines and nearly 16,000 travel agency members. It’s the largest association in terms of North American travel agency member representation.
The cruise industry has a very close working relationship with the travel agency community. A vast majority of cruise passengers use the services of a travel agent to book their cruise vacations. Cruises are profitable to sell and generate a high repeat rate. The most successful and productive agencies are those that place a premium on selling cruises and training their personnel. CLIA provides a wide portfolio of travel agency training programs considered among the best in the travel industry including live classroom seminars, seminars at industry conferences and events, online training, DVD training and textbooks. The “Gold Standard” of CLIA training is the Certified Cruise Counsellor program where agents can earn the designation of Accredited (ACC), Master (MCC), Elite (ECC) and Elite Scholar (ECCS) designations. Travel agents earn these CLIA Certification designations via a structured program of mandatory and elective training, ship inspections, actual cruise experience and required cabin sales targets. A CLIA Certified Cruise Counsellor is the travelers best resource for cruise vacation planning. Two-thirds of all travelers consider professional designation/accreditation as a cruise expert to be extremely/very important – but, as expected, is even more important to cruisers (75%) than non-cruiser/vacationers (56%) – particularly luxury (81%) cruisers.
NOTE: In this report, North American market designates only U.S. and Canada.
The cruise industry is the most exciting vacation category in the United States and Canada. Its average rate of growth has been far greater than any other category.

| *AMA Waterways became a CLIA member effective 2008 |
CLIA finished 2007 with nearly 16,000 Travel Agency affiliates. The recent reduction in affiliate membership is a reflection of the general consolidation and attrition in the travel agency business. The trend has particularly affected corporate travel and has been accelerated as a result of the airlines reducing / eliminating travel agency base commissions. This is resulting in more travel agencies shifting their focus to cruise and leisure sales.
