Cruising is a niche form of tourism, a feature of which is that it typically touches more than one country but most of the time does not touch any country. It is a popular form of water tourism. Leisure cruise ships were introduced by the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company in 1844,[29] sailing from Southampton to destinations such as Gibraltar, Malta and Athens.[30] In 1891, German businessman Albert Ballin sailed the ship Augusta Victoria from Hamburg into the Mediterranean Sea. In 1900, one of the first purpose-built cruise ship was Prinzessin Victoria Luise, built in Hamburg. |
