Abstract
Continuing – and constant - growth in world maritime traffic, and the increasing number of cruise ships in the Adriatic-Ionian region, was the motive for this study. Maritime passenger transport represents important part of tourism. This paper deals with maritime passenger transport, more specifically, maritime cruise traffic. Based on
the data gathered through the EA SEA-WAY project, we have prepared an overview of the state of cruise ship traffic in the Adriatic-Ionian region, identified key passenger ports holding the largest traffic shares and indicated a possible development scenario of the cruise traffic within the region.
