The “Exceptional port of call” Cruise Club

Its role

The cruise club operates thanks to the commitment and participation of each of the actors that are part of it. Members cooperate collegially to accomplish their goals.

Its role is to:

Bring together all institutional, private and association professionals related to the cruise industry.
Contribute ideas to improve the hosting of stopovers.
Coordinate professionals as they accommodate ships (logistics organization, tourist information and tourism products).
Analyze the problems encountered and seek solutions.

The objective of the Cruise Club is to:

Ensure the continued existence of welcoming arrangements for the cruise companies, the sharing of the stopover schedule, a plan B in the event of inclement weather, formalization of a “cruise product” offer.
Establish regular meetings to track commitments.
Develop information and communications documents intended for passengers by coordinating their creation and distribution.
Ensure that members of the Club and the public are informed.
Benefit from this activity by seeing to it that passengers get off the cruise ship and engage in tourist consumption activities on the archipelago.
Observe and assess cruise activity.
Promote the destination to companies.

Its composition

The Cruise Club is composed of several working groups dedicated to themes as varied as entertainment, welcome, security, technical aspects, improving guided tours, contact with companies, communication and promotion.
