Here is a test case I built. I want to list all cruises by cruise_type
but after merging cruise_type that have the same cruise_type_name:

drop table cruise;
drop table cruise_type;

create table cruise_type (
id_cruise_type serial primary key,
cruise_type_name text
);

create table cruise (
id_cruise serial,
id_cruise_type integer references cruise_type,
cruise_date timestamp default now()
);

insert into cruise_type (cruise_type_name) values
('5 day eastern carribean cruise'),
('5 day western carribean cruise'),
('5 day eastern carribean cruise'),
('5 day western carribean cruise')
;

insert into cruise (id_cruise_type) values
(1),
(2),
(3),
(4),
(1),
(2),
(3),
(4)
;

select array_agg(ct.id_cruise_type),ct.cruise_type_name from cruise_type ct join cruise c on (c.id_cruise = any(array_agg)) group by cruise_type_name;
