  • A Qualitative Review of Cruise Service Quality: Case Studies from Asia

    A Qualitative Review of Cruise Service Quality: Case Studies from Asia

    sustainability Article A Qualitative Review of Cruise Service Quality: Case Studies from Asia Yeohyun Yoon 1 and Kyoung Cheon Cha 2,* 1 School of Hotel and Tourism Management, Youngsan University, Busan 48015, Korea; [email protected] 2 Department of Business Administration, Dong-A University, Busan 49236, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 2 September 2020; Accepted: 29 September 2020; Published: 30 September 2020 Abstract: Although the cruise sector is considered an ‘unreplaceable’ form of tourism, with the cruise industry recording steady growth over the years, there is a lack of research and analysis on cruise ships themselves. Accordingly, this study sought to determine whether service quality differences among ships operating in the Asian market could suggest broader implications for the sustainability of the cruise industry. We chose the SERVQUAL framework for the analysis; we also employed the multiple case study method and topic synthesis to compare the service quality of three ships. Of the ships investigated—the Costa Victoria, Diamond Princess, and Superstar Virgo—the Diamond Princess had the highest service quality. Based on the results, we outlined suggestions for improving the quality of cruise services, including introducing the latest large ships and high-tech facilities, complying with the departure and arrival times of sailing schedules, improving the ratio of crew members per passenger, establishing a cruise personnel training system, and expanding membership program operations. Keywords: cruise; service quality; SERVQUAL; onboard attributes 1. Introduction Cruise tourism is one of the fastest growing tourism segments, and it has undergone significant transformation, especially in the last few decades [1,2].

    Varata a Monfalcone La “Discovery Princess”

    27 Settembre 2021 - Livorno: Guardia Costiera “ferma” nave in porto LIVORNO – La Guardia Costiera ha disposto il “fermo” di una nave nel porto labronico. Nel quadro del più ampio progetto di tutela della vita umana in mare e dell’ambiente marino e costiero che vede fortemente impegnato il Corpo delle Capitanerie di Porto, nella giornata di ieri gli uomini della Guardia Costiera di Livorno – Nucleo Port State Control, hanno emanato il provvedimento di “fermo” nei confronti della nave da carico generale denominata “Saffet Aga”, ai sensi della Direttiva 2009/16 dell’Unione europea, recepita con il D.Lgs 53 del 2011. https://www.messaggeromarittimo.it/tag/nave/ | 27 Settembre 2021 - 27 Settembre 2021 - Il provvedimento è stato adottato al termine di una dettagliata ispezione dell’unità che, in base alle vigenti normative internazionali in materia di sicurezza della navigazione, è risultata essere in condizioni “sub-standard”. In particolare, sono emerse gravi carenze in materia di prevenzione degli incendi a bordo, in materia di prevenzione dell’inquinamento marino da idrocarburi, nonché in materia di preparazione e risposta alle emergenze da parte dell’equipaggio. Al momento l’unità risulta ancora ferma in porto, in attesa che vengano ripristinati gli standard minimi per poter essere nuovamente autorizzata a navigare. L’unità dovrà poi essere sottoposta a specifici controlli da parte degli ispettori dell’Ente Tecnico “Bureau Veritas”, responsabile del rilascio della certificazione di sicurezza per conto della bandiera Barbados. Giova ricordare che il Nucleo PSC della Capitaneria di Porto di Porto di Livorno, guidata dal contrammiraglio Gaetano Angora ha da sempre profuso notevoli sforzi nella lotta al fenomeno delle “navi sub-standard” che, in difformità alle convenzioni internazionali, navigano con gravissimo rischio per la sicurezza della navigazione e dell’ambiente marino nonché per la sicurezza e per le condizioni di vita delle persone che sulle navi vivono e lavorano.

The future is uncertain for Antarctica, with many possibilities – some more plausible, others more preferable. Indeed, the region and its governance regime may be reaching (or may have reached) a crossroads moment as a result of a series of challenges, including the changing Antarctic climate and environment, increasing human activity, shifting values among Antarctic states and a low-cost, somewhat benign governance regime (the Antarctic Treaty System). Within this context there are a number of interdependent drivers that are likely to influence Antarctica’s future over, say, 25 years: global environmental and socio-economic developments; Antarctic governance; Antarctic research, including national Antarctic programme operations; and Antarctic tourism. The research presented here involved a thorough examination of Antarctic literature on current Antarctic developments and challenges, and an assessment of global trends.

    Varata a Monfalcone “Discovery Princess”

    FINCANTIERI: VARATA A MONFALCONE “DISCOVERY PRINCESS” Trieste, 18 marzo 2021 – È stata varata oggi, nello stabilimento Fincantieri di Monfalcone, “Discovery Princess”, la sesta unità della classe Royal, costruita per la società armatrice Princess Cruises, brand del Gruppo Carnival Corporation. Inizierà ora la fase degli allestimenti degli interni che porterà alla consegna della nave il prossimo anno. Realizzata sulla base del progetto delle gemelle “Royal Princess”, “Regal Princess”, “Majestic Princess”, “Sky Princess” ed “Enchanted Princess”, costruite e consegnate sempre dallo sito di Monfalcone a partire dal 2013, inaugurando una nuova generazione di navi che hanno riscontrato un enorme successo tra il pubblico dei crocieristi, la nuova unità avrà una stazza lorda di 145.000 tonnellate. La nave, al pari delle unità gemelle, rappresenterà un nuovo punto di riferimento tecnologico a livello europeo e mondiale per il lay-out innovativo, le elevatissime performance e l’alta qualità di soluzioni tecniche navali d’avanguardia e sarà la migliore prova che innovazione e cura del rapporto con il cliente sono leve imprescindibili per affermare la propria leadership sul mercato e consolidare ulteriormente la storica partnership di Fincantieri con il Gruppo Carnival Corporation, primo operatore al mondo del settore crocieristico. Il rapporto tra il cantiere di Monfalcone e Princess Cruises proseguirà con le 2 navi da crociera di prossima generazione da 175.000 tonnellate di stazza lorda, le più grandi finora realizzate in Italia.
