• Abstract:
  The worldwide cruise industry has seen remarkable growth since the 1990s. The cruise market on the Great Lakes has lagged the worldwide growth and compared to historical records, has fallen far short of its full potential. This paper reviews the history of the cruise industry on the Great Lakes with particular focus on the U.S. flag segment. Market studies and business ventures to restore the cruise industry in the region are examined. The policy issues are investigated and their impediments to the growth of the cruise industry on the Great Lakes are discussed. The specific impact of current and future cabotage, gambling, security, pilotage and environmental laws on Great Lakes cruise ship operations are explored. Specific recommendations are made regarding policy changes to improve the economic climate of U.S. flag cruise ships operating on the Great Lakes.
