Sustainability
There’s more to cruising
We are committed to taking meaningful, measurable actions that have a long-term positive impact on our guests, our employees and our planet.
We continue to work towards achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 by investing in new technology and design, renewable fuels and operational efficiency.
Our efforts are organised in five key areas of action - People, Planet, Climate Action, Responsible Tourism, Sustainable Procurement.
TOURISM

Our decarbonisation journey
We have an Energy Transition Plan, aligned with our net zero greenhouse gas emissions 2050 commitment. The plan is influenced by three levers of technology improvements, operational efficiency and renewable fuels, with clear milestones to 2050 and continued alignment with evolving regulations.

Cruises offer opportunities to explore some of the world’s most fascinating destinations. We aim to support the communities we visit through well managed tourism, including partnerships with local businesses, investment in community projects and respect for cultural heritage. Through these actions, we seek to contribute to positive social and economic outcomes.

Responsible practices
Every year, we need to procure thousands of different items to run our operations, from engine parts to hand soap, crew uniforms to food and drink. We need to procure and utilise goods responsibly and enable recycling and circularity at the end of life.
