OUR SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAMME

Our commitment to the future is outlined in our latest Sustainability Action Plan. We're working on several fronts: reducing our greenhouse-gas emissions from our marine operations to net-zero, using resources wisely, supporting the places we visit, taking care of our team and guests, and choosing our suppliers carefully. These efforts organised into our main areas of action – reducing emissions, protecting the ocean and using resources efficiently to show our dedication to protecting the environment, supporting our communities, and ensuring a sustainable future for cruising.

ENVIRONMENT

We recognise our responsibility to help tackle climate change, prevent pollution, and support and protect ocean biodiversity. We are clear in our goal to deliver net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 for our fleet. We know we cannot achieve this alone and work in close collaboration with technology companies, shipyards, and fuel providers to find innovative solutions.
