The global cruise industry in 2021 has had a significant improvement compared to 2020. The traditional cruise market in Europe and United States has gradually resumed operations. The number of ships that have resumed voyages and their capacity have exceeded half. Substantial progress has been made in the fields of independent construction of cruise ships, policy innovation, route planning, home port layout, and operation services in China. The pandemic in 2022 will still be an uncertain factor affecting the recovery of cruise tourism. The obstacles to international travel caused by pandemic prevention policies, policy breakthroughs and pilots for upstream and multi-port calling routes are all challenges to the recovery of the cruise industry in the post-pandemic era. However, the recovery and upward process of the cruise industry will not stop, the pace of structural adjustment and transformation and upgrading will not stop, and the supply of high-quality cruise products and cruise tourism services will be further increased. Under the background of the dual-cycle strategy and the normalization of pandemic prevention and control, the cruise industry will usher in new opportunities and challenges for structural adjustment, transformation and upgrading, such as market restart after recovery, confidence revival, route re-layout, and marketing strategy reconstruction.
