World's leading company for cruise ship management
COLUMBIA Cruise Services GmbH & Co. KG (CCS) is a Hamburg-based company founded in 2015, affiliated with the COLUMBIA Group. The Cypriot predecessor, the “COLUMBIA Cruise Group”, boasts a long and successful history of more than 35 years within the maritime leisure industry.
The foundation of CCS was the logical consequence of the individual needs of our clients, their vessels and further emerging alterations in legislation for passenger vessels over the last decade. As a standalone management company solely dedicated to the cruise industry, CCS is able to meet the highest industry standards, and provide best practice services.
To achieve this, our biggest assets are our employees, cruise branch experts in all CCS shore-side departments and a tailor-made safety management system for each client. Our success and employee satisfaction is proven by an on-board retention rate of 89%.
The company’s location in Hamburg (Germany), being one of the major cruise hubs in Europe, ensures timely and personal access to our clients, their cruise vessels, the industry and its suppliers.
