Today's cruise industry exists and operates in many ways as a result of the Titanic tragedy. This week we take a look at the legacy left behind in ways that affect cruise passengers on every sailing of every ship.
In the whole business of safety at sea, there are several major players and topics to consider. In today's world, modern ship technology aims to prevent another tragedy like Titanic from ever happening again. But also in today's world, security surrounding ships in port and at sea has come clearly into focus to address a threat of terrorism not thought of in the days of Titanic.
"The cruise industry's highest priority is to ensure the safety and security of their passengers, crew and vessels" says the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), the world's largest cruise association, dedicated to the promotion and growth of the cruise industry.
