It’s actually per km. See “Carbon emissions from international cruise ship passengers’ travel to and from New Zealand” by Oliver J.A. Howitt, Vincent G.N. Revol, Inga J. Smith n, Craig J. Rodger.

“a weighted mean value for the CO2 emissions per passenger kilometre for cruise vessels completing an interna- tional journey to or from New Zealand in 2007 was found to be 390 g CO2 per p-km, with a range of between 250 and 2200 g CO2 per p-km for individual journeys.”
