The event was hosted onboard Fred Olsen’s Balmoral in Rosyth in partnership with the Scottish parliament’s cross-party group for maritime and shipbuilding, and saw MSPs take a tour of the ship while docked near Edinburgh.
Paul Sweeney MSP, the group’s chair, said the group recognised the "vital role" played by the cruise sector over several decades in bringing tourists to Scotland, as well as its growth in recent years, which he stressed "had cemented it as a key part of Scotland’s tourism economy".
