With the increase in large-scale cruise tourism worldwide, researchers have highlighted the inauthenticity of the cruise experience and the reconstruction of space. This research deals with new aspects: fast tourism through time-space compression, and the formation of enclosed, customized ‘tourist bubbles’ that confine the tourists and promote a constructed authenticity of the experience on-shore. The second aim is to advance applied research in slower cruise excursions, especially in emerging cruise destinations. The research is based on extensive field work conducted during nine cruise-excursions to the sand desert and an oasis in the Sultanate of Oman. Oman is in the early stages of developing mega-cruise tourism while having received little attention in tourism research. For this study, in-depth interviews were conducted with German-speaking cruise tourists, cruise employees as well as with local cultural brokers and the Minister of Tourism. Moreover, participant observation, travel ethnography and photography were applied. Results indicate while moving from one customized ‘tourist bubble’ to the next one, time is controlled and enhanced through fast modes of transportation and a tight schedule of the excursion. The tourists and their cultural brokers are ‘contained’ in time and space, while some are struggling for more authentic experiences. They are shielded off from the local environment, ‘grazing’ destinations within a short time.

``匆忙中''：时空压缩及其对巡游游览的影响

随着全球大型邮轮旅游的增加，研究人员强调了邮轮体验的不真实性和空间的重建。这项研究涉及新的方面：通过时空压缩实现快速旅游，以及形成封闭的，定制的“游客泡沫”，从而限制游客并促进在岸体验的真实性。第二个目标是推进在较慢的巡航旅行中的应用研究，尤其是在新兴的巡航目的地。这项研究基于对阿曼苏丹国的沙漠和绿洲进行的九次巡游中进行的广泛野外工作。阿曼尚处于发展大型巡航旅游的早期阶段，而在旅游研究中却很少受到关注。对于这项研究，对讲德语的邮轮游客，邮轮员工以及当地文化经纪人和旅游部长进行了深入采访。此外，还进行了参与者观察，旅行民族志和摄影。结果表明，从一个自定义的“游客泡沫”过渡到下一个“旅游泡沫”时，通过快速的运输方式和紧凑的行程表来控制和增加时间。游客和他们的文化经纪人在时间和空间上被“包容”，而有些人则在努力寻求更真实的体验。他们与当地环境隔离，在短时间内“放牧”目的地。结果表明，从一个自定义的“游客泡沫”过渡到下一个“旅游泡沫”时，通过快速的运输方式和紧凑的行程表来控制和增加时间。游客和他们的文化经纪人在时间和空间上都是“封闭的”，而有些人则在努力寻求更真实的体验。他们与当地环境隔离，在短时间内“放牧”目的地。结果表明，从一个自定义的“游客泡沫”过渡到下一个“旅游泡沫”时，通过快速的运输方式和紧凑的行程表来控制和增加时间。游客和他们的文化经纪人在时间和空间上被“包容”，而有些人则在努力寻求更真实的体验。他们与当地环境隔离，在短时间内“放牧”目的地。
