A new classification of seaports involved in the cruise market in the Mediterranean Sea

What is it about?

The paper highlights that although there is some sort of hierarchical structure among some main ports included in the Mediterranean cruise routes, the majority of the ports of call are in a somewhat vulnerable position within the cruise transport network. Moreover, the study discusses how ports’ characterising elements, such as excursion packages, have a strategic role in ensuring the inclusion of peripheral ports within the cruise network.
