Sailing to a better future
Sustainability & the cruise industry
Plugging into shoreside electricity enables ship engines to be switched off and reduces emissions
while
the
ship is berthed in port. Did you know that 40% of the global cruise fleet by capacity has been equipped to connect
to
shoreside
electricity.
Cruise lines are investing in the development of sustainable fuel sources to reduce emissions
whilst at
sea. Did you know that current innovations include preparing ships for electric batteries,
advanced
biofuels, and hydrogen fuel cells. Beyond 2023, new engines and propulsion technologies are being planned or installed for new ships
entering
the market through 2028.

Sustainable cruise tourism helps to support the livelihoods of people in local communities, which
are often
rural or remote. Did you know that this support often showcases local traditions or cultures, with
economic input
from both the cruise line and the visiting guests.
