From Market Movement to Better Decisions
Cruise IP draws on Tourism Economics’ cruise intelligence, industry relationships, primary research, and economic forecasting capabilities. Data is structured so users can compare ports, regions, operators, pricing patterns, and passenger demand through a consistent market lens.
That consistency matters. Ongoing shifts in deployment, capacity, itineraries, pricing, source-market demand, and broader economic conditions shape cruise markets. The platform connects those signals so users can see not only what is happening, but where the market may be heading next.
As an independent, third-party research firm and part of Oxford Economics, Tourism Economics brings a market-wide view without a commercial stake in any single port, operator, itinerary, or investment outcome.
