Cruising ships in the ports of Gdynia and Gdańsk

Summary/Abstract: The maritime tourist market is among the most attractive areas of business. The article identifies the transformation trends in Gdynia and Gdańsk cruising traffic in the years 2000- 2017. In recent years, the Baltic has become one of the most vibrantly developing key cruising markets. Up to the year 2016, Gdynia enjoyed the greatest number of cruise ships calling Polish ports. Gdańsk took the lead in 2017. As the biggest cruise vessels continue to call Gdynia, whereas smaller ones call Gdańsk, the port of Gdynia continues to handle a considerably bigger number of passengers. The development of marine cruising tourism generates benefits for the ports themselves and the cities of Gdynia and Gdańsk, as well as the entire Pomeranian region.
