According to CLIA’s 2026 State of the Cruise Industry Report, shared by Bud Darr, President & CEO, Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) at 2026:

📈 37.2 million people cruised globally in 2025, a 7.5% increase year-on-year
👀 Nearly 90% of cruisers intend to sail again - the highest level ever recorded
🌍 Cruise generated $198bn in global economic impact, supporting 1.8 million jobs worldwide

The Caribbean, Bahamas and Bermuda remained the world’s most popular cruise destination, welcoming 16.27 million passengers and accounting for 44% of global destination share.
