Cruise Passenger Magazine

Cruise Passenger magazine began its journey in 1996 as an independent publication released twice a year, dedicated to representing the interests of cruise passengers. Over the years, our love for cruising, ships, destinations, and itineraries has expanded alongside the thriving industry. Today, we publish our magazine four times a year, aiming to both educate and motivate current cruise enthusiasts, and to encourage those who have yet to experience a cruise to consider it for their next vacation.
