Sumario:Cruise homeports play a key role for local economies. The aim of this study is to build a world ranking of cruise homeports considering the price paid by the consumer. Methodologically, a hedonic model is defined. 176,000 prices from 2019 departures have been collected and analyzed. Results reveal how each homeport, country and region is ranked. It is interesting to note that itineraries departing and ending at the same port are cheaper; and that the more days at sea the itinerary has, the cheaper it is. Results lead to both theoretical and practical implications for destination stakeholders and cruise companies
