The exercise of the economic and social functions of maritime tourism has undergone significant changes in recent years. A case in point is the development of the maritime cruise fleet, in both quantitative and qualitative terms, across various regions. This is a result of, among other things, the changing needs of international tourists in particular regions. The worldwide expansion of globalization has also marked a turnaround in preferences, with customers now willing to visit regions formerly unattractive or rarely considered by tourists. These changes are also visible in the variety of transport modalities available to passengers for both domestic and international voyages. To a large extent, these changes stem from technological developments. New possibilities for quick and efficient passenger transport have contributed to transforming maritime tourism in many countries. This, in turn, has led to increasing volumes of tourist traffic, generating economic growth for such nations. This article discusses contemporary trends in the world’s cruise ship fleets in the context of the technical parameters of global cruise shipping. The authors have attempted to determine the basic quantitative parameters and metrics expected for characterizing the global cruise ship fleet. To accomplish this, the method of linear regression has been used, with the input data being the sizes of cruise ship fleets and some other characteristic parameters, during particular time periods, carrying capacities, registered tonnages, numbers of passenger cabins, main and auxiliary engine powers, and levels of fuel consumption. The econometric model of linear regression has allowed calculating the projected values for the nearest future.
