In 1993, all companies believed that women on board a ship would bring bad luck. This changed four years later, when women on board became a source of great pride. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) stated that 2% of the workers in the maritime sector constitute 1.2 million women seafarers, of which 94% belong to the cruise industry.
