Hundreds of thousands of words belong to special scientific, professional terminological system and are not used or even  understood  by people outside  the particular specialty. Every field of modern activity has its specialized vocabulary. There is a special maritime vocabulary and similarly special terminology for cruise ships industry. Term as traditionally  understood is a word  or a word-group which is specifically employed  by a particular  branch  of a science, technology, industry to convey  a concept  peculiar  to this particular  activity. It is difficult to understand nautical terms and cruise specific terms, as they are content-specific vocabulary used by a given knowledge community  in a specific domain. Cruise terms are specialized words in relation to their meanings and the field in which they are used.  New terms may be added to the vocabulary of a language not only by derivational processes but new terms also enter a language in a variety of other ways such as: acronyms, abbreviations, blending, these terms are common in cruise tourism industry field.
