The field of tourism has been described as pre-paradigmatic and multidisciplinary. The acclaimed 'poverty of tourism theory' is attributed to the fragmentation, managerialism and lack of unifying theoretical perspectives characterising empirical research. Constituting a sub-category of tourism, cruise research is presumably subject to similar criticism. The niche character of the cruise sector implies a limited amount of domain-specific research, possibly exacerbating the relevance and intensity of those issues. Mainstream bibliographic databases were systematically queried, resulting to a collection of 145 cruise-related academic publications published between 1983 and 2009. The identified publications were analysed in terms of their content and meta-data. Apart from providing a comprehensive analysis of cruise research, the validity and relevance of the posed hypothesis are also challenged.
