GAME MODES Cruise Ship Tycoon Overview: You have been hired as the manager of a cruise line. You must utilize your assets and money to try to create a successful business. Attempt to draw guests and keep your cruise ship in good working order while maximizing profits at the same time! You will need to observe your passengers’ actions to ensure they are finding and using the amenities they require. Make sure there is plenty of food, clean cabins, entertainment and whatever else may be needed. Main Menu Once you’ve started the game and watched the opening movies, you’ll find yourself at the Main Menu. From there you can configure the game to match your preferences, then play the game. Options: Here you can adjust your resolution (800x600, or 1024x768), your color depth (16 bit or 32 bit), scenery and texture detail quality (low, medium, or high), and your sound and music volume levels. Play: Here you will be presented with the profile book. You can create a profile or choose one you have previously created. After selecting your profile, you will need to select which game mode you would like to play. Instant Action: In this mode, there are no objectives and no set time limit. You are allowed to ‘Free Play’ for as long as you like. You can choose from any of the ships and set sail on any of the courses. This is great for testing out strategies and learning more about Cruise Ship Tycoon. Career Mode: In Career mode, you will start with the smallest cruise ship and need to successfully fill it out with the proper amenities to create a successful cruise line, allowing you to gross enough money to purchase a mid-sized ship and ultimately build, maintain and manage the largest ship and build a cash flow of $1,000,000.

Each challenge has specific goals you must accomplish in order to become the ultimate Cruise Ship Tycoon.
