CLIA Oceangoing Cruise Line Policies

Committed to surpassing regulatory standards in safety, security, and environmental stewardship, CLIA mandates annual verification from oceangoing cruise line CEOs to ensure full compliance with its policies.

Commitment, Compliance, Safety, Stewardship

CLIA is the world's largest cruise industry trade association with representation in North and South America, Europe, Asia and Australasia. Dedicated to the promotion of a safe and secure cruise ship environment, CLIA Members have no higher priority than the safety of guests and crew. With the advice and consent of its membership, CLIA advances policies intended to enhance shipboard safety, security, and environmental stewardship, in some cases calling for best practices more than existing legal requirements.  

Annually, the chief executive of every CLIA oceangoing Cruise Line Member specifically verifies his or her line's implementation of every CLIA policy.
