With the global epidemic situation entering a stage of stability,the number of cruise ships returning to service in the world has continued to grow. Since July 2020,more than 100 countries and regions in the world have reopened cruise ships. The cruise fleets under the major cruise brands of the world,Royal Caribbean International Cruise,Carnival Cruise,Norwegian Cruise,have all returned to service. The COVID-19 epidemic accelerated the adjustment of the global cruise market pattern,some cruise ships were disassembled,some cruise brands were sold,and Genting Hong Kong announced bankruptcy. The pattern of the global cruise market is being restructured and adjusted to meet the needs of the normal operation of the cruise market after the resumption of flights and lay a foundation for the development of the cruise market. The major cruise companies optimized the regional route deployment,and launched the regional cruise route deployment in 2023 and 2024,providing strong support for promoting the revitalization of the cruise market. The cruise construction market has been steadily promoted,and many cruise companies launched new cruise ships to optimize the supply of transport capacity in the cruise market. The construction of international cruise ports has been continuously promoted,and cruise companies have also paid more attention to cruise product innovation,providing a strong guarantee for improving operational capacity and tourist services. Cruise companies pay more attention to sustainable development,adopt alternative fuels and innovative technologies,expand the scale of green energy powered cruise ships,and strive to achieve the goal of zero net emissions by 2050,so as to achieve zero port emissions. In a word,the impact of the epidemic on the cruise industry is phased,which puts forward higher requirements for the development of the global cruise industry,but will not change the long-term trend of the global cruise tourism. With the steady recovery of the cruise industry,the reorganization and integration of the cruise industry,the cruise market will glow with vitality,and the cruise industry will enter a new historical stage.
