Abstract

In this paper we present several optimization models for cruise cabin capacity allocation. In particular, we address the problem of managing the booking requests for a set of cabins with different type and price in a cruise ship. We formulate three models, considering several features of the problem such as: the limited number of bookable places on the ship, different planning and operation horizon, the possibility to postpone a departure or to apply special offers. Then, we present an Italian case study and we analyze the impact of different strategies on the revenues achievable by the company.
