The cruise industry has evolved into a two-tier structure with a broad mass market, from a narrow focused hidey-hole vacation experience. Dominant operators, Line and majestic Caribbean, offer the advantages such as attractive returns on investments due to the economies of scale, large and modern fleets, and recognizable brand equity. These large operators operate efficiently, have access to capital and a solid cash flow, extensive distribution networks, and manage to grab extra market share. The additional level is of small operators that are forced to operate in the non-core vacation markets. These secondary operators, with grown-up and smaller vessels, are stimulating a plea for cruising in the non-conventional areas. The plea for cruising depends on several factors, including demographic changes, political and economic situations, and convenient free time.
