Abstract

 

Since antiquity, cruise has been a well-known way of recreation and a constituted privilege of prosperous social classes. In the course of time, its sociological and space-time characteristics have changed. In our days the cruise has become a considerable branch of marine tourism that attracts a lot of passengers of not only high but also medium economic level.
