This operation has resulted in steady growth, and from that humble start Cruise Europe today has a membership of more than 70 ports, ranging from Lisbon in the south to Hammerfest in the North.
The area of membership is limited to Atlantic Europe including the Baltic. Europe has during these years enjoyed the most significant growth of any cruising area in the world, and is today the largest growing source market for cruise passengers.
Cruise Europe not only markets its member ports, but also maintains close connections with the cruise lines on such matters as future deployment, safety issues, environmental matters and improvement of facilities offered by the ports.
The members of Cruise Europe all contribute to the work being done by the co-operative by informing and supplying the cruise lines and operators with relevant information concerning their port and the immediate sights of interest.
Cruise Europe is led by a council consisting of the President, Chairman, and Secretary as well as selected members from the various regions of Europe.
The Annual General Meeting is the highest body of the organisation, and meets every year to discuss and agree on future matters of policy.
The council, elected by the AGM, is also free to employ outside expertise where needed.
