This text provides a comprehensive overview on how modern cruise ships are run, covering the most important topics of today's shipboard operation involving Deck, Engine and Hotel divisions, with a focus on the recent innovations in the Culinary Arts, Entertainment productions, Spa and Beauty facilities and a specific reference on how to maximize onboard revenues such as Casino, Bar, Duty-Free Shops, Shore Tours, Photo Gallery, and onboard Art Auctions. A special chapter is dedicated to the procedures to prevent virus outbreaks including Norovirus and Coronavirus.
World Class Shipboard Hospitality is addressed to all those who want to get an unbiased understanding of today's cruise industry such as worldwide media professionals, tourism and hospitality college teachers, cruise industry administrators, product and service suppliers, crew manning agencies and business executives. It can also be a guide for marine, tourism, and hospitality students to learn from a reliable source, and a tool to encourage candidates interested in a career in the industry, as well as to assist existing cruise employees to be eligible for a promotion.
Today there are several books about cruising and cruise ships with description and evaluation of ships, cruise mystery, fiction stories, and personal memories; however, World Class Shipboard Hospitality has the advantage to describe the cruise business operation with first-hand knowledge from an inside point of view and with a richness of professional information, that makes it unique in its genre.

They are floating hotels with luxury restaurants and high-level entertainment, but they need to be perfect to accomplish their mission: to give people a break from reality in the most amazing surroundings.... Benassi has spent almost his entire adult life in the hospitality industry, whether on the ground or at sea.
