Article Abstract:

The factors associated with the formation of continuing, stable and intimate or loyal relationships between individuals and a provider of a cruise package are studied. Data from interviews with intentionally selected cruisers suggest that loyal relationships between customers and a cruise provider depend on the treatment customers receive from the provider, opportunities for the customers to help the provider, and the bond they have with other cruisers.
