Abstract: Geographic distribution of the cruise destinations shows the range of cruise tourism in the world. This paper points out the basic characteristics of certain geographic units as cruise destinations, as well as their development and placement compared to other cruise destinations. The most important harbors are also analyzed using the passenger traffic indicators, as well as various investments in harbor infrastructure as a trend reflection of the cruise tourism development worldwide. The domicile of the passengers on the cruise travels as a part of the demand in certain world markets showing the range of boats offered by the most important cruise companies in different cruise destinations is also researched.
