The projection came as part of the association’s 2022 State of the Cruise Industry Outlook report, which claimed that more than 75% of its members have already returned to service.

The annual report shows how the industry has "continued to resume responsibly", underscores the value of cruise tourism to local communities and national economies, and charts the industry’s progress towards achieving carbon neutrality.

According to the data, by 2027, the Clia ocean-going cruise line member fleet will reflect "significant advancements" in the cruise industry’s pursuit of a "cleaner, more efficient future".
