The number of ocean cruise passengers worldwide experienced a sharp decline in 2020 over the previous year due to the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on travel and tourism. Overall, North America was the leading source market for the global cruise industry in 2020. That year, roughly three million travelers from this region took a cruise trip. However, the number of cruise passengers from North America reached over 15 million in 2019.
