The 1st International Cruise Conference (abbr. ICC) will take place on September the 26^th and 27^th 2008, at the University of Applied Sciences in Bremerhaven. We are looking forward to two days during which academics and experts will have the opportunity to exchange information, ideas and thoughts about the future of the cruise sector.  Keynote speeches, as well as workshops, are planned in order to stimulate and enable discussion.

Apart from a stimulating and thought-provoking discussion, the contributions and ensuing discussion will be documented and published in the form of conference proceedings.  The themes covered (i.e. tracks) are outlined in the accompanying call for papers. Within this context we invite and encourage researchers and practitioners to contribute and present papers.  Selected contributions and keynote speeches are going to the basis for discussion amongst the participants (contributors and attendants).
