There are four (4) factors that categorized the cruise business as an industry:
- culture (at sea)
- contracts (for maritime employees)
- context (of the maritime setting)
- community (at sea)

culture
reflect the need to operate a vessel 24/7, with crew living and working on board and subject to international rather than national regulations.
contracts
being on a cruise ship means that the landscape and/or seascape changes with the cruise. The destinations add both a promisingly attractive dimension for travellers and a potential political issue for the freedom of passage when travelling. The other aspect of context is that the ship is at sea with all that means in terms of weather, escapism and safety.
context
frequently multinational, working and living in close contact with fellow crew members, subject to shipboard regulations and in a position where they must be seen to fit in and be effective.
