  • 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].

Four future scenarios for Antarctica Daniela Liggett Gateway Antarctica, University of Canterbury, Private Bag 4800, 8140 Christchurch, New Zealand Bob Frame Landcare Research, PO Box 69040, Lincoln 7640, New Zealand ([email protected]) Neil Gilbert Constantia Consulting, 310 Papanui Road, Christchurch 8052, New Zealand Fraser Morgan Landcare Research, Private Bag 92170, Auckland Mail Centre, Auckland 1142, New Zealand Received December 2016; first published online 11 September 2017 ABSTRACT. 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.

  • Optimizing Fuel Consumption for a Sustainable Future
    Optimizing fuel consumption for a sustainable future MV Seabourn Ovation - Fuel economy of sea voyages 2019 Matti-Pekka Piispa Master’s thesis Degree Programme of Maritime Management Turku, Finland 2020 MASTER’S THESIS Author: Matti-Pekka Piispa Degree Programme: Master of Maritime Management Specialization: Master of Maritime Engineering Supervisor(s): Peter Björkroth, Katarina Sandström Title: Optimizing fuel consumption for a sustainable future, Seabourn Ovation - Fuel economy of sea voyages 2019 _________________________________________________________________________ Date: 13.11.2020 Number of pages 46 Appendices 61 _________________________________________________________________________ Abstract The cruise ship leisure industry attracts thousands of customers every year. Furthermore, the increased interest, popularity, and public awareness of environmental sustainability have brought up significant responsibilities to cruising. The consumption of fuel and related exhaust gas emissions has become a relevant subject, impacting the customer's decision-making soon. Consequently, it is significant to improve and diminish energy consumption. The thesis examines the reduction of fuel consumption by improving itinerary planning and base it on the vessel's optimal speed. To achieve the objective, actual voyages are explored to demonstrate the fuel economy of route profiles. The study also raises a debate on a topic where future route planning could be changed based on the results of the ship's optimal speed. The primary data analysis was based on data collected from the author's work on the Seabourn Ovation in 2018 and 2019 and historical AIS data. The additional information resulted from the author's observation of the participants and through the action research. In conclusion, for a better fuel economy to follow the average required speed as closely as practically possible, This would give nearly 10% fuel saving for the propulsion consumption at sea without additional investment.
