Following the earthquake in Haiti, Royal Caribbean CEO Adam Goldstein explains how the cruise industry can help towards recovery.

Our annual survey shows that while sales are down, passenger numbers are up and the industry continues to grow.

A large proportion of the industry’s future health will be determined by the success of new launches such as the Oasis of the Seas. Wilson Butler’s Scott Wilson discusses the interior design and ground-breaking facilities of the ship that has revitalised the global tourism industry.

Kevin Douglas, vice-president of technical projects, newbuilds, for Royal Caribbean, explains how it is easier to fund the building of new ships than renovate existing ones as surplus cash becomes a thing of the past, while Peter Fetten, SVP of refits of Carnival Corporation, discusses the challenge of refitting ships that meet market expectations and demographic trends.
