OUR SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAM

Our journey towards sustainable cruises is organised around four key pillars: Planet, People, Place and Procurement. This translates into a drive to continuously improve our fleet’s environmental performance; caring for all employees and promoting diversity and inclusion; working to ensure that our impact on the coastal communities that we reach remains positive; and responsibly sourcing the products and services that we purchase.

PLANET

We believe in sustainable cruises and we are committed to responsible travel by continuously pushing the boundaries of what is technically possible at sea.
We are actively engaged in the development of next generation environmental technologies and cleaner fuels to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.

PLACE

PROCUREMENT

From large mechanical parts for our ships to ingredients to feed thousands of people at a time, down to the smallest details, like toiletries, and medical items, we need to buy a huge amount of supplies for our fleet, crew and guests.
 
Managing environmental, social and ethical issues in our supply chain is critical, and we take a robust approach to this across all areas of procurement.
