We classify cruising tourism as a specific category of tourism. This type of tourism has started to develop much later than other forms of tourism. The idea of cruising tourism is starting to appear at the end of 19 century, around 1880. This variety of selective tourism is usually dived by duration, on shorter and longer periods, then on inland, coastal, island and ocean cruises, and the last one, on themed circular trips. Conducted structural analysis od cruising market shows that in 2014 the company called Carnival Cruises is the one that stands out on global cruising mart. The most visited destination in the same year were the Caribbean. In 2014 the most average years of travellers werw from 40 to 49, and also from 60 to older ones. The passengers were mostly from North America, specifically USA. In 2014 the most important cruising destination in Croatia was Dubrovnik, and also by itself Dubrovnik was one of the most visited cruising destination in Mediterranean. The long-term development, arising the well being of population, increasing the number of berths in ports, regeneration and increasing th number of fleet, promotion, enhancement in number of tourists/boaters are only some of the goals of our cruising policy in Croatia that should be realised in future.
