An in-depth analysis of planned cruise ship itineraries and voyages in the Canadian Arctic
There is limited data on marine tourism traffic (cruise ships and pleasure craft) and on-shore locations visited by cruise ships in the Canadian Arctic. Marine tourism vessels represent 11.8% of all vessel voyages transiting within the Canadian Arctic, which is significant as these vessels "go...
