BUILDING THE FUTURE OF CRUISING

Comitted to promoting responsible travel


“We are steering a course towards a lower carbon future and, by 2050, will achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions”


PIERFRANCESCO VAGO

Executive Chairman

 

For us sustainability means protecting the environment, supporting the people who work with us and choose to travel with us, as well as the communities and places that we visit and do business with.
 

Can cruising be sustainable?

 

At MSC Cruises we believe it can be. With our cruise sustainability programme we are introducing cleaner fuels across our cruise ships, promoting responsible travel through our shore excursions, reducing, reusing and recycling waste on all our ships and producing our own freshwater on board directly from the sea.

our sustainability programme

Our journey towards sustainable cruises is organised around four key pillars: Planet, People, Place and Procurement. This translates into a drive to continuously improve our fleet’s environmental performance; caring for all employees and promoting diversity and inclusion; working to ensure that our impact on the coastal communities that we reach remains positive; and responsibly sourcing the products and services that we purchase.

PLANET

We are fully committed to playing our part in addressing climate change and promoting ocean biodiversity. We are determined to accelerate our transition toward net zero emissions by 2050. We work closely with leading technology companies, shipyards, and fuel providers to push the boundaries of what is possible.
