This document provides a history of cruise tourism from ancient times to present day. It discusses how cruising evolved from primarily being used for cargo transport and migration in ancient Egypt and during European exploration in the 16th century, to the development of passenger cruising in the mid-19th century with the introduction of transatlantic crossings. It then covers the growth of the cruise industry in the 20th century alongside advances in aviation. Finally, it briefly outlines some current trends in the industry including the rise of social media and experience-focused travel, as well as topics to be covered about cruise ship structure, terminology, itineraries, cruise lines, and types of passengers.
