2024 Sail & Sustain Report

Caring for Nature

As stewards of the sea, cruise lines have a unique relationship with the natural world. From the shimmering blues of the open ocean to the spectacular beauty of coastal ecosystems, nature is not only the backdrop of the cruising experience — it’s at the heart of it. Caring for Nature is an essential part of our Company’s mission and culture. We are committed to doing our part to preserve our natural environment. By taking proactive steps to protect the natural world, we can help ensure that future generations will continue to experience the wonder of our planet’s most breathtaking destinations — just as we do today.

Empowering People and Strengthening our Communities

We support our team members, strengthen communities and protect our stakeholders as we sail safely around the globe. Our goal is to leave each place a little better than we found it.

Governance

We have a strong corporate governance system in place to provide high standards of transparency and accountability and strive to be a leader in ethics and responsible business practices.

For the safety and security of all guests and staff on board, Designated Smoking Areas are available on the forward, starboard corner of the Pool Deck and in the aft, port corner of Horizons. These areas are comfortably furnished and conveniently located near food and beverage areas. Smoking is expressly forbidden in all staterooms and suites, on verandas, or in any areas of the ship other than officially Designated Smoking Areas. Smoking in a stateroom or suite or on a veranda represents a serious fire and safety hazard to all guests and staff.
