By Mia Taylor Greece-based Celestyal Cruises prides itself on a unique ability to showcase “authenticity” in its home country, and in striving to do that exposes travelers not only to popular, bustling ports of call, but also to charming hilltop villages; sleepy, out of the way tavernas; and locally-run businesses that date back generations.

Lunch and dinner buffets involve several appetizers, salads and soups, and delicious Greek dishes, followed by decadent cakes, rich ice creams and fresh fruits. Poolside dining is also an option on each ship, with buffets near the pool serving pizza, burgers, hot dogs, a few Greek specialties and pasta. Each ship also has a spa with fabulous offerings including facials, pedicures, and even foot and leg massages, which are ideal after a long day of sightseeing in Cycladic villages with cobblestone streets. Why Celeystal Celestyal prides itself on knowing the ports of Greece better than any other cruise company, and it succeeds in showcasing the many vibrant and historically rich facets of the country through extensive port offerings and unique

The editor, Clement A Tisdell, is from the University of Queensland, Australia and focuses on tourism economics. The information from the handbook is well trusted with every fact or claim having its own individual citation for verification and further studies. This source surprisingly, had more information on the background and current state of the cruise industry than it did about economics of it all. The article does provide valuable data when it comes to the increasing trends of the industry which could then be related to the outcomes of the also increasing economic

Napkins, spoons, chopsticks are available for taking at each table, fork and knife are provided when the dish is coming to you. All of the menu listings feature English, Vietnamese, and Chinese names. There is no wine list (House wines available), but in addition to the meals, they have an impressive bar menu instead, which is what this restaurant makes interesting.

A second strategy that has been rejected is one concerned with the consumer awareness of SGC. Currently, SGC is only advertising to travel agencies. Coupled with segmentation, SGC’s current advertising strategy has hurt SGC in the sense that consumer awareness is considerably low.

They may want to target the portion of the population that wants to travel, but is unsure of where to go or what to do. In order for SGC to reach the consumer, new efforts must be made in the advertising plan. Mere travel agency recommendations are not going to be enough to keep SGC alive in the marketplace.
