  31. Conclusion: Live by the Supply, Perish by the Supply? • Unique characteristics of the cruise industry: • Supply push strategy of cruise operators; ‘creating’ demand by providing new capacity (ships). • Itineraries, not destinations. Specific regional and cultural experiences offered through a combination of sailing time and choice of ports of call. • Expand and capture revenue streams by offering on board goods and services as well as shore-based excursions. • Adapt to seasonal and fundamental changes in the demand; repositioning ships (seasonal) and changing the configuration of port calls (fundamental).
