                     Report










                    The resilience of cruise was at the forefront in 2022, as the industry con-
                    tinued to rebound from the voluntary pause in operations that occurred in
                    March 2020, followed by the responsible resumption of operations over the
                    past two years. By the end of 2022, 100% of CLIA cruise line members’
                    ocean-going vessels were back in the water, and more than 20 million pas-
                    sengers enjoyed a cruise holiday with family and friends, while enjoying the
                    best vacation there is.


                    Throughout the year, intent to cruise continued to rise
                    – surpassing 2019 levels – and cruise ships were once again
                    bringing full ships to ports around the world and positively
                    contributing to their local economies.


                    Despite the challenges of the past few years, our cruise line members con-
                    tinued to  drive  an  ambitious  environmental  agenda,  and  with each year,
                    the CLIA-member cruise line fleet becomes more efficient and sustainable.
                    CLIA cruise lines are committed to sailing toward a better future, and as
                    part of that effort are pursuing the goal of net zero carbon cruising by 2050,
                    supporting the long-term sustainability of the industry and creating positive
                    travel experiences that inspire lifelong cruise travelers and generations of
                    new-to-cruise travelers to sail responsibly.
