Port Agents
This category is for port agents. Port agents are responsible for multiple services provided to cruise ships when they are in port. One of the most important is communication between the individual vessel and all of the suppliers at the port and destination. Port agents also handle most things related to the vessel's crew.

Tour Operators
This category is for tour operators. They are in charge of navigating cruise guests around the destinations. They handle tours, shuttle buses, and more. They provide inspiration and represent each destination by showing cruise guests what it has to offer.

Hotels
This category is for hotels. In a turnaround port like Copenhagen, cruise guests will start and end their cruises. It is really popular to spend a few days in the city where your cruise starts and/or ends and this is where the hotels are important. Cruise guests need a place to stay before and after their cruise.

Attractions
This category is for attractions. When cruise guests visit a destination, they want to experience the attractions. This accounts for both turnaround guests and transit guests. The attractions are the main reasons to go to any destination.

Restaurants, retail, transport, organizations and others
The category is for any type of partner who does not fit the description of the above categories. This type of partner can have many different interests and activities in the cruise industry.
