A cruiseferry, is a ship that combines the features of a Cruise Ship with a RoRo Ferry . Cruiseferries typically receive a large part of their income from the Tax-free sale of Alcoholic Beverage s. Many passengers are on a "cruise", staying only a few hours at the destanation port, sometimes not leaving the boat at all. Cruiseferries are common in the Baltic Sea . The expansion of the European Union has limited the growth of the industry as duty-free sales on European routes are no longer possible. However, as the Åland Islands are outside the EU Customs Zone , duty free sales are still possible on routes stopping in Mariehamn . Another popular destination is Estonia with its lower taxes on alcohol. An architypical cruiseferry is the M/S ''Mariella'' launched in 1985 . |
