摘要：The global coronavirus pandemic has devastated the cruise sector with widespread disruption and cancellations affecting millions of cruise passengers. The cruise industry was negatively affected due to the enclavic and confined environment onboard, the high infection rates among both crew and passengers, and widespread negative media coverage. This study explores the impact of COVID-19 on willingness to cruise and attitudes towards cruising for both cruisers and non-cruisers living in Australia and the United Kingdom. Data analysis of respondents’ comments was undertaken using both Leximancer text analytic software and manual content analysis. Findings indicate country of residence has a significant influence on risk perceptions for a cruise holiday and affects future intentions to cruise. Specific impacts for the cruise industry are discussed and recommendations proposed for policy and practice.
