This study aims to explore the public's collective consciousness at a time when the cruise industry is experiencing an unprecedented crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic and expanding the horizon of related research in the future. Cruise is characterized such as enlarged scale, global operation, and de-territorialization, which have become a particularly vulnerable factor to the Coronavirus. The refusal to enter the Japanese port with the mass infection of Diamond Princess cruise, provoke concerns over the loss of cruise travel opportunities and industrial-wide collapse along with the risk perception of COVID-19. From March 2020, when the Corona Pandemic Declaration was made, to the time of research, COVID-19 and cruises were searched on major portal news and SNS, and key words were extracted from related documents, frequency analysis and centrality analysis were performed. Furthermore, by CONCOR analysis, four discourses were derived: tourism perceived risk, industrial crisis, Virus spread, and infection fear. Significances and limitations of the research were included at the end of study.
