I have placed some of these events - that is some of them which I think are worth mentioning - in chronological order, resulting in a Timeline. From the nineties onwards, modern cruising is covered in more detail, because this period is the most turbulent phase in the development of the cruise industry. Just think of the enormous newbuilding projects and the large number of vessels retired because of new safety rules (so called SOLAS-rules, short for Safety Of Lives At Sea) which have been implemented.

The history of cruising is full of important events like the founding, mergers
and in some cases demise of cruise companies, the introduction of cruise ships,
some of which would become known all over the world, but also unique events like
the making of the television series The Love Boat, transforming
the famous liner France into the first mega cruise ship
Norway, building the Queen Mary 2 (she was introduced
in January 2004), at the time the largest but still the longest cruise ship ever, to name but a few important
milestones in the history of the cruise industry.
