Abstract

This article addresses the strategic evolution of the transatlantic passenger shipping companies in the fifteen years following the Second World War. It covers a brief but highly complex period that includes three different phases of activity: the reactivation of the transatlantic services after the hiatus due to the war; a brief expansion phase until the mid-1950s; and the beginning of the irreversible crisis at the end of the decade. The second part of the study focuses on the cruise activity of these companies, paying particular attention to the impact and repercussions that it had in Spain. The study includes an estimate of Barcelona’s cruise traffic through the combined study of promotional advertisements and the port chronicles. In this way, it seeks to partly compensate for the overall lack of data on the object of study for the period considered.
