Abstract

Cruises, whether sea or river, represent an important sector of tourist activity worldwide. In this work we began by evaluating the state of the art, in relation to the topic of cruises in general and river cruises in particular. We then carried out a study on the evolution of the market both globally and in relation to movements in Europe, comparing the results of 2022 with those of 2019. We finished the work by studying the results of cruises on the Douro River from 2020 to 2022.
