Abstract (en)

This article analyzes cruise shipping sector in Klaipeda and Riga seaports, examines the factors influencing the number of ships visiting ports and arriving cruise ship passengers. The results showed that the Riga seaport is more visited by cruise ships because of more developed tourism industry, which effectively tailored promotional measures and arranged most popular recreational areas. The Klaipeda Seaport cruise shipping sector which is analysed within a 12 years period shows that it has been established that the cruise shipping as a branch of the tourism industry is at the stage of development, there is a lack of recreational areas and services in Klaipeda and Klaipeda region, lack of public services for the tourism sector.
