NCL = 9.5%
MSC = 7.2%
(by passengers)

The entire rest of the cruise industry worldwide is less than 13%, and that even includes some not-so-small cruise lines like Disney.

Thanks for the research and stats. Revealing and interesting that four companies control 87% +/- of the entire industry with the two big ones controling 71% +/-. I probably ought to have at least included NCL as they now control NCL, Regent, and Oceania cruise lines which gives them a presence in the mass market, premium, and luxury markets.
