Luxury cruise market

I put together a little backgound about the market and cruiselines that serve the segment for those interested. http://www.ryanwahlstrom.com/blog1/articles/luxurious-growth-in-the-cruise-segment/

Continuing with the segment, interesting to look at the trends moving forward.

Hello,

i'm an italian student and i'm developing a thesis about luxury

cruise market. do you have some material that you can share?

i'm looking for information about luxury cruise market ( i have

already Clia Reports but unfurtunaly they focus only on cruise market

in general) above all i need market analysis ( statistic, growth,

customer...).

My thesis will focus on communication strategies of

luxury cruise lines, so i'm also looking for material about:

- visual merchandising (how these companies community luxury by ship design)

- crossing marketing ( partnership between luxury lines and other

luxury company, such as Seabourn and Tumi Luggage)

- direct marketing (mailing, newsletter....)

- web communication (social space, blog....)

i hope somone could help me

best regards
