Abstract:
Taking adventure cruise ships in areas to north of 60°N for example,we identify the ports of call of adventure cruise ships based on the schedule data released by third-party websites,and depict the spatial differentiation pattern of adventure cruise ships’ ports by Arc-GIS visual analysis tool,so as to further explore the port calling regularity of adventure cruise ships under the impact of COVID-19. The results show that there are two functional types of adventure cruise ship ports in areas to north of 60°N including port of departure and port of call,with a quantity ratio of 1:9. The distribution of adventure cruise ship ports is spatially unbalanced and varies significantly in scale. The ports of choice for adventure cruise ship operators during the COVID-19 pandemic are only Murmansk,Bergen and Alesund,which is closely related to port facilities location,port regional climate conditions and city economic level.
