Cruise Buzz

Sustainability is a topic that I enjoy discussing. The more people that are aware of our impact on the planet, the better. In the travel business there has been a lot of debate over damage caused by leisure travel.  The cruise industry has had its fair share of problems which have been in the press.

Cruise lines are committed to preserving and protecting the environment. Regrettably, there have been violations of environmental laws involving cruise lines in the past. These incidents have served as an important wake-up call, causing our industry to redouble its efforts to improve its environmental performance.
