Mass does not increase in a spaceship.

Mass increases infinitesimally according to the speed of the body. This increase does not have any effect until light speed is closely approached. Which is presently impossible with our present technology.

Is a cruise ships mass and volume equal?

No, a cruise ship's mass and volume are not equal. Mass refers to the amount of matter present in the ship, while volume refers to the amount of space the ship occupies. The mass of the ship is influenced by factors such as the materials it is made of and the items on board, while the volume is the physical size of the ship.

Can a light year ship be invented?

Do you mean a light SPEED ship? Ignoring the possiblity of "warp" technology, which, though potentially faster than light, does not really address the problem of achieving light speed, but circumvents it: As speed increases, so does mass. The increase in mass is imperceptible at the speeds you and I commonly travel, and even at the enormous speeds (but still nowhere near light-speed) achieved by the space shuttle. However, at speeds near light speed, mass increases assymptotically. At light speed, mass is, in fact, infinite. If a ship was attempting to attain light speed, its mass would increase more and more with each additional unit of speed. As it gets closer to light speed, the mass would be so great that no amount of thrust would be able to get it TO light-speed. The mathematical proof of this is somewhat more complicated, but take my word for it - it's impossible.
