CLIA-Specialty-Collection.Pdf Welcome to CLIA’s Specialty Cruise Collection! I am very pleased to introduce you to the wonderful world of specialty cruising by way of CLIA’s 13 amazing small, river, coastal, luxury, adventure and sailing ship members. The CLIA Specialty Cruise Collection encompasses ves- sels, of all sizes and cruises experiences in spectacular and exotic destinations and at almost every price level, including ultra-luxury. Using the theme “Experience the World in a Different way,” members of the Collection, while distinctly differ- ent, offer guests the experience of interacting intimately with the world, its landscapes, cultures and people. I have personally been extremely impressed with the remark- able success, growth and popularity of specialty cruising and the highly favorable reputation these lines widely enjoy. We created this briefing document as a reference guide and resource tool to the Collec- tion and I hope you find it interesting and informative.

    More than a Directory! Cruise Ship Owners/Operators and Passenger Ship Financing & Management Companies 1st Edition, April 2013 © 2013 by J. R. Kuehmayer www.amem.at Cruise Ship Owners / Operators Preface The AMEM Publication “Cruise Ship Owners/Operators and Passenger Ship Financing & Management Compa- nies” in fact is more than a directory! Company co-ordinates It is not only the most comprehensively and accurately structured listing of cruise ship owners and operators in the industry, despite the fact that the majority of cruise lines is more and more keeping both the company’s coordinates and the managerial staff secret. The entire industry is obtrusively focused on selling their services weeks and months ahead of the specific cruise date, collecting the money at a premature stage and staying almost unattainable for their clients pre and after cruise requests. They simply ignore the fact that there are suppliers and partners around who wish to keep in touch personally at least with the cruise line’s technical and procurement departments! The rest of the networking-information is camouflaged by the yellow-pages industry, which is facing a real prospect of extinction. The economic downturn is sending the already ailing business into a tailspin. The yellow-pages publishers basically give back in one downturn what took seven years to grow! Cruise Ship Financing It is more than a directory as it unveils the shift in the ship financing sector and uncovers how fast the traditional financiers to the cruise shipping industry fade away and perverted forms of financing are gaining ground. Admittedly there are some traditional banks around, which can maintain their market position through a blend of sober judgements, judicious risk management and solid relationships.

  • Case Study for Small Cruise Ships in Key West
    Case Study for Small Cruise Ships in Key West (It’s not a ban.) If enacted by voters, the amendments to the city charter will reduce the size of cruise ships that call on Key West and the number of passengers that disembark each day. Cruise ships with the capacity to carry 1,300 or more persons (passengers and crew) will be prohibited; and the maximum number of persons disembarking each day will be limited to 1,500. This would allow for one small cruise ship of 1,300-capacity, or two very small cruise ships of 750-capacity. Prior to the “no-sail” order issued by the CDC, Key West was scheduled to receive 29 port calls by 11 qualifying vessels in calendar 2020. Some who are opposed to the referenda’s passage have used this figure to claim that the amendments would cause a 95% reduction in visits by cruise ships. Their estimate assumes a 0% increase to port calls by small ships over current figures. However, the amendments were drafted with the goal of increasing port calls by qualifying small cruise ships. Key West is one of the most desirable destinations in a very desirable region. Its unparalleled architecture, history, and subtropical climate and ecology make it a worldwide draw. The relatively low number of small ships in the past owes partly to the fact that small cruise ships are generally averse to calling on ports that are dominated by large cruise ships The amendments will only emphasize the fact that Key West is ideally suited to small cruise ships.
