Live it, Love it, Save itWhat are Protectours
We are committed to preserving a beautiful world for future generations to enjoy. By focusing on environmental sustainability, PROTECTOURS helps to achieve this vital goal. All tours involve activities with low environmental impact – like walking, cycling, or kayaking – while others make a direct contribution to the environment, for example, tree planting or beach cleaning. So, you can enjoy original insights into the natural world while preserving its beauty and helping to ensure a greener future!
What are Protectours
A world of amazing experiences
PROTECTOURS offer you unforgettable experiences in close contact with nature and communities in a variety of environments around the world. Local guides, with an expertise in wildlife or traditions, will bring you to snorkel around a coralline plantation, or take you on a Fjord Safari aboard a hybrid-electric catamaran and much more.

MSC Cruises and the environment
The oceans and seas have always been the basis of MSC Cruises and we feel a deep responsibility to preserve and protect them. We care for the environment in which we operate, the guests who sail with us, the people who work with us, the cities we call, and the communities we visit. Our commitment to the environments extends to our onshore activities too. PROTECTOURS is not only a way to offer our guests a variety of shore excursion with less impact, but also a means of encouraging our onshore partners to develop tours that pay ever more attention to environmental sustainability. Just one example is that no single-use plastic or other items are accepted on these tours.
