Cruise tourism is one of the sunshine sectors of international tourism and is growing rapidly in many parts of the world. It is estimated that the growth rate of cruise tourism is twice the rate of tourism overall. Notwithstanding all the positives that accompany this growth, many critics have drawn attention to the "dark side" of cruise crimes. The present paper highlights crimes on board as one of the major obstacles preventing the sustainable growth of cruise tourism across the world. It proposes various solutions aimed at containing and responding to cruise crimes. A critical evaluation of the recent initiatives in this regard by U.S. legislative bodies is also provided.Keywords
