Wanna know where the Greek cruise industry is headed?

I especially like.....

“With six million passengers per year the Mediterranean is the world’s second largest cruising region, as well as a preferred yachting destination for hundreds of thousands of tourists from all over the world, making sea tourism an important economic growth vehicle for Greece and the entire region,” said Theodore Vokos, Project Director of Posidonia Exhibitions.

AND.....

“It’s worth pointing out that a total of six new ships will be added in 2013 with a total passenger capacity of 14,074 lower berths. From 2014 to 2015, a net of 13 more new cruise ships will come online adding another 39,297 lower berths, or 8.7% to passenger capacity. The ships from 2014 to 2015 will add $3.2 billion in annual revenue to the cruise industry and part of that is destined to our shores,” said Vokos.
