About This Source Book

The Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) is pleased to present this guide as a reference tool for journalists and professional researchers. The 2008 Cruise Industry Source Book profiles CLIA’s 24 member cruise lines and contains general information about CLIA, its history and purpose.

Each cruise line profile features the names of company principals and spokespersons, with phone numbers
and e-mail addresses. Also included are descriptions of each line’s history and philosophy, as well as the
destinations served by each company.

The Source Book lists CLIA member-line ships in two ways: by individual company and by ship. In
addition, it provides the names and phone numbers of key contacts at the other North American cruise
industry associations – the Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association and the North West CruiseShip
Association.

The information contained in this guide was provided by the cruise lines and the associations. We welcome
your feedback and appreciate hearing your comments.
