International Centre for Cruise Research

International Centre for Cruise Research
A virtual centre for research and for researchers

ICCR is a virtual centre whose purpose is to be a resource to researchers (academic, nonacademic, and students of all ages), journalists, and folks with an interest in the cruise industry. We hope it is found helpful and useful. Please feel free to offer additional citations since there is much that we've overlooked. Write to: ross@cruiseresearch.org
