The travel industry has recognized the advantages offered by global cruise tourism, now a famous
tourism product in Taiwan. This research looks at the cruise image as a recreational experience and
compares the results of 906 questionnaires to investigate perceived value, satisfaction and postpurchase
behavioral intention. Analyzing these factors, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is used for
theory development. This research presents a concept and measurement using information from cruise
tourists and proposes methodological and statistical procedures for measuring the relationships in
order to help researchers for an overall picture. The results show that cruise image has a positive effect
on tourists’ perceived value and satisfaction, and also has an indirect effective on post-purchase
behavioral intention. Tourists’ perceived value influences their satisfaction positively. Plus, tourists’
perceived value and satisfaction play a significant role in post-purchase behavioral intention. Empirical
findings contribute some important extensions to image relationships in cruise ship.
