In the beginning an advertisement said ships are leaving every day. But we only see one ship in the movie.
As the title says; Are there other cruise ships in WALL•E universe?
Answer
At the start of the movie, we see three (possibly four) other BNL Starliners in the advert that WALL•E accidentally triggers on his way back home. The ultimate fate of these ships (e.g. whether they survived the next 700+ years) remains unclear and they aren't seen in the movie, or any of the supplementary materials:
You can see the extended version here:
The President of BNL is clearly speaking to multiple autopilots (and hence multiple ships) when he makes his final address:
BUY N LARGE CEO: Just cut it off, will ya?! (music stops; forced chuckle) Hey there, Autopilots! Uh, got some bad news. Operation Cleanup has, uh, well... failed! Wouldn't you know, rising toxicity levels have made life unsustainable on Earth.
The makers of the film originally envisioned four main classes of BNL Starliner, with the Axiom-class sitting alongside the Zephyrus, Epiglothus and Mucus(!) classes as the the largest and most luxuriously appointed. The Axiom itself is described as the "jewel of the BNL fleet", suggesting that it's both the flagship and class namesake.
More Starliners are seen in the official Disney graphic novel that was released to accompany the film
