Seabourn Encore

Our guests travel with us because they want to see, hear, learn and discover new places and experiences. To ensure that our guests have memorable and enriching experiences in the over 450 ports of call we offer annually, we contract the best local agents to create and operate some 12,000 carefully curated shore experiences, offering our guests a range of choices in duration, content and the type of activity involved to fully satisfy their wishes. To assist our guests in choosing among these numerous excursion options, we are categorizing our overall Shore Experiences by Seabourn into seven ‘Collections,’ according to the general interests they are designed to captivate.

The Cultural Collection
The Cultural Collection explores the arts, ideas and legacy of places, including access to UNESCO World Heritage sites around the world.

The Bespoke Collection
The Bespoke Collection affords guests opportunities to customize their shore experiences by arranging private cars and drivers, guides, yachts, reservations and other services in ports of call

The Adventure Collection
The Adventure Collection is an array of excursions offering guests active and participatory experiences in ports, including Ventures by Seabourn™ and expedition excursions on our Expedition ships.

The Mindful Living Collection
The Mindful Living Collection consists of guided shoreside experiences in Mindful Living, designed in partnership with world-renowned integrative medicine pioneer.

The Epicurean Collection
The Epicurean Collection invites guests to explore the unique flavors of a destination by indulging their passion for tasting both traditional and contemporary foods and drinks.

The Essential Collection
The Essential Collection offers shorter-duration introductory experiences such as guided walking tours, allowing guests with general interest to learn the highlights about a port.

The Journeys Collection
The Journeys Collection offers escorted pre-, post- and mid-cruise overland experiences of two to 13 days, exploring iconic landmarks impossible to visit during a scheduled port call.

More and more of our guests relish the opportunity to engage with The Last Frontier in a more interactive, experiential, and participatory way.

We created Ventures by Seabourn® to provide Alaska travelers with exciting, adventurous optional activities that are expertly planned, professionally operated, and escorted by skilled expert guides. Optional Ventures by Seabourn excursions let you experience nature up close in a way that is unique, exciting, and designed to accommodate a wide variety of abilities.

• Exclusively on Alaska cruises*, we augment our onboard staff with a veteran Expedition Team of naturalists, scientists, photographers, and other experts to enhance and broaden your destination experiences.
• Complimentary onboard lectures, seminars, and presentations by our team of experts add insights into regional wildlife, natural and cultural history, geography, and other topics. During scenic cruising, Expedition Team members circulate on deck and in observation lounges, highlighting the sights with top-of-the-line Swarovski® binoculars.
• Optional excursions launch directly from the ship, where you can kayak with Expedition Team guides through tranquil fjords and watch for wildlife along forested shores.
• In most ports, if you prefer to simply ride instead of paddle, our Expedition Team can take you on a scenic Zodiac tour. These marvelous boats are great for scenic eye-level cruising in fjords and along rivers.
• During Alaskan voyages, we take advantage of the insider knowledge and relationships of our Expedition Team members to gain access to exclusive sites and experiences. It’s all part of our Ventures by Seabourn mission to enhance and extend the way you experience destinations. Our Ventures by Seabourn expedition-style adventures are also a great opportunity to take a first step into expedition cruising if you have been curious about trying a voyage on our purpose-built expedition ships.

Enhance..

On select sailings featuring Ventures by Seabourn® excursions, share your voyage with a knowledgeable, experienced expedition team of scientists, scholars, naturalists and more. These fascinating, accomplished experts will be part of our complimentary Seabourn Conversations program, providing you an in-depth understanding of the history, ecology and culture of the places you visit. On board, their valuable insights are offered both in formal presentations and in more casual conversations over meals or at leisure.

Extend

In select ports of call and destinations, optional Ventures by Seabourn® excursions, guided by our Expedition Team, invite you to explore spectacular destinations on exhilarating sea-level adventures. Launching from your ship on board our fleet of sturdy, Zodiac® boats or paddling in double sea kayaks, these adventures will vary depending on your itinerary, but include thrills such as cruising picturesque fjords and waterways, trekking on scenic islands, viewing birds, seals, whales and other wildlife up-close, and surveying massive, white-blue icebergs.

Ventures by Seabourn vs Excursions: What's the Difference?

First launched in 2013, Ventures by Seabourn was introduced for guests who have dreamed of experiencing a Seabourn expedition, but are unable to sail on one of our expedition ships.

Unlike traditional shore excursions, the expedition team is placed aboard select sailings to offer knowledge, commentary, education on the destinations, and to lead hikes, Zodiac cruises, and kayaking in remote areas. It allows Seabourn guests to experience expedition-style encounters with the landscapes, but do it on the traditional Seabourn ships that our guests know and love.

Caviar in the Surf® is available on select sailings, weather and conditions permitting. One of Seabourn’s most popular events is our signature “Caviar in the Surf” beach barbecue. Our uniformed staff members plunge into the water and invite guests to wade in and get iced champagne and caviar at a surfboard bar. The event includes a lavish barbecue lunch, watersports, music and ample time to soak up the sun on a white-sandy beach.

Shopping with the Chef — at local food markets. Shop a bustling Sicilian market, gather spices in Istanbul or explore the local wines of Tuscany and Provence. Wherever you are in the world, you'll enjoy an insider's look at unique regional markets with an expert Seabourn chef as your guide.

The art of conversation has always been central to the Seabourn experience.

Our voyages attract interesting, interested people –people who enjoy talking together, sharing their interests, their adventures and discoveries, and their life stories with longtime and newfound friends. Their enthusiasms and curiosity are far-ranging, and these are what spark their desire to travel the world. To encourage and enhance this satisfying aspect of your Seabourn voyage, we invite luminaries of particular interest and accomplishment to join our guests on board – and bring fascinating insights, expert opinions and delightfully entertaining diversions to the conversation. 

Daring explorers, heralded chefs, learned scholars, celebrated performers and renowned experts from every arena of the arts, sciences, politics and the humanities share your journey on our intimate ships. They each bring skilled presentations of their expertise for guests to enjoy. But just as importantly, they participate in the daily social scene, sharing meals, adventures ashore and casual chats throughout the voyage. On some ships, they lecture. On Seabourn, they join the conversation.

For meetings and gatherings, our ships offer meeting rooms that can accommodate up to 40 guests. The meeting rooms can be arranged to guests’ specifications including theatre-style or with tables; and each of the rooms have large-screen TVs for presentations. Guests may also reserve the Card Room when available. Our crew members are happy to assist guests with meeting room reservations and setup.

Seabourn is committed to providing safe, easy, and accessible accommodations for all persons with disabilities, to the extent that is feasible. It is for this reason that Seabourn is honoured to be a part of Carnival Corp., which received the Society For Accessible Travel & Hospitality's (SATH) "Access to Freedom" award. This award is the highest honour in the travel industry that SATH presents to recognise individuals or organisations that have made the greatest strides in advancing opportunities for persons with disabilities, and for promoting the awareness of, and access for, travellers with disabilities.

The Importance of Planning Ahead

Seabourn does not discriminate against individuals on the basis of disability. We seek, to the extent feasible, to accommodate guests with disabilities. However, some needs require adequate time to prepare for a guest's arrival. It is recommended that guests make every effort to contact Guest Accessibility and to submit a Special Requirements Information form (SRI) well in advance of the departure of their cruise and/or cruise tour. We recommend submitting an SRI upon booking or a minimum of 45 days prior to departure.

Guests who are unable to care for their basic needs (e.g. dressing, eating, and attending safety drills) MUST have a capable traveling companion. The medical staff on board is not available for daily care unless an individual is hospitalised in the ship's Medical Centre. In limited situations (either on board or ashore), we may find it necessary to ask the individual to make alternative travel arrangements, such as if an individual with a disability is unable to satisfy certain specified safety and other criteria, even when provided with appropriate auxiliary aids and services.

Our vessels have specially designed suites for guests who need mobility assistance. If you have not booked one of these accessible suites but instead will be using a standard suite you need to know about some limitations that adversely impact manoeuvrability, especially ingress and egress. Most entry doors and bathroom doors in non-accessible suites measure 23 inches wide. Bathrooms have a doorsill and the bathtubs are often difficult to negotiate for guests who have limited mobility. Passageways within the suite may be too narrow for a wheelchair or scooter to manoeuvre throughout the suite.

Accessible Suites offer features such as wider entry doors to the suite and bathroom measuring a minimum of 32 inches wide, accessible showers with grab bars, benches/seats, and hand-held shower heads as well as lowered closed and towel rods.

Accessible suite numbers are detailed in the section below by ship and their locations are noted on the deck plans for each ship within the “Onboard Life” section of this website.

Note: For safety reasons, mobility devices must be stored and charged in the guest’s suite.

Η Seabourn επιτρέπει μόνο την παρουσία ζώων υπηρεσίας επί του πλοίου, ορισμένων ως εκείνα τα ζώα που έχουν εκπαιδευτεί ατομικά για να παρέχουν βοήθεια σε άτομα με αναπηρία. Δεν επιτρέπουμε στους επισκέπτες μας να φέρουν κατοικίδια, ζώα θεραπείας/συνοδείας ή άλλα ζώα που δεν πληρούν τον ορισμό των ζώων υπηρεσίας. Εάν έχετε οποιεσδήποτε απορίες σχετικά με το αν το ζώο που επιθυμείτε να φέρετε είναι πράγματι ζώο υπηρεσίας, μπορείτε να επικοινωνήσετε με το Τμήμα Προσβασιμότητας Επισκεπτών.

Το δρομολόγιό σας μπορεί να περιλαμβάνει λιμάνια με πολύ συγκεκριμένες και αυστηρές απαιτήσεις που πρέπει να πληρούνται προκειμένου να επιτραπεί στο ζώο υπηρεσίας σας να αποβιβαστεί από το πλοίο. Παρακαλούμε να βεβαιωθείτε ότι κατανοείτε τις προϋποθέσεις για την αποβίβαση ζώου υπηρεσίας σε κάθε λιμάνι. Οι καλύτερες πηγές για να λάβετε συγκεκριμένες πληροφορίες σχετικά με τα απαιτούμενα έγγραφα και τους εμβολιασμούς για το ζώο σας είναι η ιστοσελίδα του Υπουργείου Γεωργίας των ΗΠΑ, τα τοπικά τελωνεία στα αντίστοιχα λιμάνια και ο κτηνίατρος του ζώου υπηρεσίας σας. Όλες οι απαιτήσεις για έγγραφα και εμβολιασμούς καθορίζονται από κυβερνητικές αρχές και όχι από τη Seabourn. Εάν χρειάζεστε βοήθεια για την εύρεση αυτών των πληροφοριών, παρακαλούμε επικοινωνήστε με το Τμήμα Προσβασιμότητας Επισκεπτών.

Για να επιβιβαστείτε στο πλοίο, το ζώο υπηρεσίας σας πρέπει να έχει ενημερωμένους εμβολιασμούς. Τα σχετικά πιστοποιητικά πρέπει να προσκομιστούν στο Τμήμα Προσβασιμότητας Επισκεπτών πριν από την αναχώρησή σας. Συνιστούμε επίσης να έχετε μαζί σας τα έγγραφα εμβολιασμού σε περίπτωση που ζητηθούν σε κάποιο λιμάνι. Εάν δεν διαθέτετε τα κατάλληλα έγγραφα και αποδείξεις εμβολιασμών που απαιτούνται σε κάποιο λιμάνι ή αν υπάρχουν τοπικές απαιτήσεις καραντίνας, το ζώο υπηρεσίας σας δεν θα επιτραπεί να αποβιβαστεί. Σε περίπτωση που το ζώο σας αρνηθείται η αποβίβαση σε κάποιο λιμάνι, το προσωπικό και το πλήρωμα θα συνεργαστούν μαζί σας για να εξετάσουν τις δυνατότητες που υπάρχουν ώστε να επισκεφθείτε το λιμάνι χωρίς το ζώο υπηρεσίας σας. Παρακαλούμε σημειώστε ότι κατά την απουσία σας, θα πρέπει να φροντίσετε και να επιβλέπετε το ζώο υπηρεσίας σας. Εκτός από τις περιπτώσεις όπου το ζώο έχει αρνηθεί την αποβίβαση, δεν επιτρέπεται να αφήνετε το ζώο υπηρεσίας σας χωρίς επίβλεψη επί του πλοίου ή στη σουίτα σας οποιαδήποτε στιγμή.

Οι αυστραλιανές αρχές καραντίνας έχουν αλλάξει την προσέγγισή τους σχετικά με τα σκυλιά υπηρεσίας επί των κρουαζιερόπλοιων. Δυστυχώς, η νέα τους πολιτική καθιστά πρακτικά αδύνατη την αποδοχή ζώων υπηρεσίας σε εσωτερικές ή κυκλικές κρουαζιέρες από την Αυστραλία. Το Υπουργείο Γεωργίας θεωρεί πλέον αυτές τις κρουαζιέρες ως διεθνή ταξίδια και επομένως υπόκεινται σε «βιοασφάλεια». Ως εταιρεία, εκφράζουμε τη βαθιά μας απογοήτευση για τη νέα πολιτική και έχουμε απευθύνει επιστολή στον Ομοσπονδιακό Υπουργό ζητώντας την επαναφορά της προηγούμενης πρακτικής. Προς το παρόν, οι επισκέπτες δεν θα μπορούν να ταξιδεύουν με ζώα υπηρεσίας σε δρομολόγια που καταλήγουν στην Αυστραλία ή επισκέπτονται λιμάνι στην Αυστραλία μετά από επίσκεψη σε ξένη χώρα. Οι επισκέπτες που ξεκινούν το ταξίδι τους από την Αυστραλία θα μπορούν να ταξιδεύουν με το ζώο υπηρεσίας τους, εφόσον το ταξίδι δεν επιστρέφει στην Αυστραλία μετά από επίσκεψη σε ξένο λιμάνι. Για περαιτέρω ερωτήσεις, παρακαλούμε επικοινωνήστε με το Τμήμα Προσβασιμότητας Επισκεπτών μέσω email στο [email protected].

Για τους επισκέπτες με δυσανεξίες ή αλλεργίες σε τρόφιμα που δεν απειλούν τη ζωή, παρακαλούμε επικοινωνήστε με το Τμήμα Κρατήσεων μας. Για τους επισκέπτες με αλλεργίες σε τρόφιμα που απειλούν τη ζωή, ζητάμε να παρέχουν λεπτομερείς πληροφορίες στην Υπηρεσία Προσβασιμότητας Επισκεπτών συμπληρώνοντας μια Φόρμα Πληροφοριών Ειδικών Απαιτήσεων (SRI). Οι επισκέπτες θα πρέπει να αναφέρουν σε αυτή τη φόρμα ποια τρόφιμα ενδέχεται να προκαλέσουν σοβαρή αντίδραση.

Επισκέπτες με διάφορες σοβαρές αλλεργίες σε τρόφιμα ταξιδεύουν τακτικά με τη Seabourn. Το προσωπικό της κουζίνας επί του πλοίου είναι εξοικειωμένο και έμπειρο στη διαχείριση τέτοιων αναγκών. Η κουζίνα διαθέτει πολλαπλές ζώνες προετοιμασίας φαγητού, που βοηθούν στη μείωση της πιθανότητας διασταυρούμενης μόλυνσης. Ωστόσο, είναι σημαντικό να σημειωθεί ότι τα γεύματα παρασκευάζονται σε ανοιχτές κουζίνες επί των πλοίων, επομένως πάντα υπάρχει η πιθανότητα κάποιας διασταυρούμενης μόλυνσης. Ως εκ τούτου, η Seabourn δεν μπορεί να εγγυηθεί ότι ο επισκέπτης δεν θα έρθει σε επαφή με αυτά τα στοιχεία. Παρόλο που η Υπηρεσία Προσβασιμότητας Επισκεπτών παρέχει στο πλοίο προειδοποίηση εκ των προτέρων για όλες τις αλλεργίες που αναφέρονται σε μια υποβληθείσα SRI, συνιστάται οι επισκέπτες να επικοινωνούν επίσης με τον Maitre d’ κατά την επιβίβαση για να συζητήσουν λεπτομερώς αυτές τις ειδικές διατροφικές ανάγκες.

Guests under 21 years of age must be accompanied by a parent, guardian or chaperone who is at least 21 years old; one adult chaperone is required for every five people under age 21. A guest must be at least 6 years of age at the time of embarkation in order to sail on voyages to Antarctica or on Expedition Cruises. We will not accept reservations for infants 6 months or younger for non-transocean sailings, 12 months or younger for transocean sailings at the time the cruise commences. Seabourn cannot accept a booking or carry any guest who will be 24 completed weeks or more pregnant on the last day of the intended cruise. All pregnant women are required to produce a physician’s letter stating that mother and baby are in good health, fit to travel, and that the pregnancy is not high-risk.

Attire During the Day:

• During the daytime, casual, resort-style attire, including shorts and jeans, is welcome in all lounges and dining venues. Swimsuits, brief shorts, cover-ups and exercise attire should be reserved for poolside, on deck or in the spa and fitness center.

In the evening (after 6pm): Elegant Casual. The following is the nightly dress standard for all dining venues:

• Men: Slacks with a collared dress shirt or sweater; Jacket Optional. Ladies: Slacks / skirt, blouse, pant suit or dress.

Attire Ashore:

Packing clothing that can be layered is the best way to plan for cruising in virtually any climate. For tropical cruises, bring light, loose-fitting garments that can be paired with a lightweight jacket or sweater. For cooler climates, pack extra layers of warmer garments such as a light top coat and some sweaters. When dressing to go ashore, it is helpful to be aware of the customs of the countries you are visiting. In some ports men and women should not wear shorts. Many cultures prefer that women wear dresses or skirts when visiting shrines, churches, mosques and temples.

Some of our more adventurous destinations like Alaska and Antarctica voyages have additional special packing requirements.

• Packing for an Alaska Cruise
• Packing for an Arctic or Antarctic Cruise
• Packing for a Kimberley or South Pacific Expedition Cruise
• Packing for an Amazon or Tropics Expedition Cruise
• Packing for a Northern Europe Cruise
• Here are some brief videos on packing for Polar and Tropical expedition voyages.
• What Do I Pack and Wear on a Polar Expedition?
• What Do I Pack and Wear on a Tropical Expedition?

Please Note: Firearms, explosives, fireworks, other weapons and knives or sharp blades over 2.5 inches long and illegal drugs of any kind are prohibited without exception. Due to safety and onboard security reasons personal Satellite dish/receivers, routers and other internet related equipment are not allowed onboard.

Full list of Prohibited Items

For safety reasons drones and any other remote controlled aerial devices/toys, as well as hoverboards or similar devices are not allowed on board our ships.

For the comfort of all guests, most public areas on board, as well as guest suites, are smoke-free.

Cigarette smoking is permitted in the following areas:

• Smoking of electronic cigarettes is permitted in guest suites.

Outside smoking of cigarettes, cigars and pipes are permitted in designated areas of Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit:

• The designated smoking area is the starboard half of the Sky Bar open deck.

Outside smoking of cigarettes is permitted in designated areas of Seabourn Sojourn, Seabourn Quest, Seabourn Encore, and Seabourn Ovation:

• The designated smoking area for all ships is the starboard half of the Sky Bar open deck.
• Cigarette, cigar & pipe smoking is allowed on the starboard half of the Seabourn Square outside deck.

Inside smoking of cigarettes is not permitted. Smoking of water-pipes, glass-pipes or other smoking devices is not permitted on board. Smoking is not permitted on open decks during fuel bunkering operations in port. Guests are asked to refrain from smoking anywhere inside the ship, including in guest suites, on verandas and balconies. If you have any doubts about any area, please consult your onboard staff.

Any guest who smokes inside staterooms or on adjoining verandas in violation of our policy will be charged a US$250 cleaning fee per day of violation.

Seabourn ships offer guests access to the internet by means of transmission between satellites orbiting approximately 20,000 miles above the earth and our mobile shipboard system. While this technology enables mid-ocean access in virtually every part of the world, satellite service is frequently noticeably slower and slightly less reliable than land-based methods of access due to the motion of the ship and limitations of bandwidth. There are two main reasons for this:

• The available bandwidth from satellite transmission is much lower than is available from most shoreside systems served by stationary cables with much greater bandwidth capacity.
• In addition, a shipboard system is typically serving a greater number of users simultaneously than most shoreside networks. Many shoreside users use wireless cell phone systems for internet access, further reducing demand on hardwired systems. Each user’s data transmission occupies a portion of the available bandwidth. More users means slower service.

For these reasons, we ask that guests not use internet service for high volume uses such as gaming, file sharing or streaming video content. The internet service on board is generally quite adequate for all guests’ usage when web browsing and sending or retrieving email.

Guests can access the internet either at terminals located in Seabourn Square, or wirelessly using their own wireless-enabled devices in most locations on board, including in guest suites, lounges and most areas on open decks.

Παρέχονται πλήρεις υπηρεσίες πλυσίματος, καθαρισμού με στεγνό καθάρισμα (σε επιλεγμένα πλοία και υγρό καθάρισμα) και σιδερώματος. Οι υπεύθυνοι των σουιτών φροντίζουν για την παραλαβή και την παράδοση. Υπάρχει δυνατότητα υπηρεσίας την ίδια ημέρα με επιπλέον χρέωση, εφόσον ζητηθεί πριν τις 9:00 π.μ. Σε όλα τα πλοία της Seabourn διατίθεται δωρεάν πλυντήριο με πλυντήρια, στεγνωτήρια, απορρυπαντικά και εγκαταστάσεις σιδερώματος.

Your ship's small but modern basic medical facility is staffed by a doctor and a nurse. This facility is equipped to provide medical care for illness or accidents that may arise during the cruise, but is not intended to provide ongoing medical treatment. Since we are either at sea or in ports where availability of medical facilities and pharmaceutical products may be limited, we suggest you bring adequate supplies of prescription medications and other health-related items.

Onboard medical facilities are equipped to provide care for unexpected illness and accidents. These basic facilities are not intended or designed for ongoing treatment of pre-existing conditions. If you anticipate a need for medical services, your special requirement must be cleared in writing with Seabourn before your booking can be finalized.

At Seabourn we do not discriminate against individuals on the basis of disability. We seek to the extent feasible to accommodate the needs of all individuals with disabilities, including children. However, due to the sensitivity of caring for any child, with or without a disability, we must first determine what the child's specific needs are so we may properly evaluate and determine the best and safest way to meet the child's needs. We encourage families to contact Guest Accessibility prior to their cruise, to evaluate and determine what the child's specific needs will be and how best to accommodate those needs.

Seabourn Cruise Line offers pre- and post-cruise transfers in luxury sedans for two guests. Private van transfers can also be arranged for a minimum of four guests traveling in the same group. A standard private sedan will accommodate two guests, two large pieces of luggage and two carry-ons. If you require additional space, requests for vans can be accommodated.

We recommend booking your transfer no later than 60 days prior to departure. To request a transfer please call Seabourn Reservations. Please be sure to have your Seabourn booking number, airport name/city, flight date, airline carrier and flight number available. Transfers for disembarkation may be either purchased in advance through Seabourn Reservations or arranged on board. Please note: Transfers between most hotels in Venice are via water-taxi.

Once you have supplied Seabourn with your flight details or hotel information, any subsequent changes must be communicated to Seabourn at least 14 days prior to embarkation. Failure to advise of changes may result in a missed transfer and charges are non-refundable. Local Seabourn representatives are unable to assist guests without advance transfer arrangements. Local representatives are independent service contractors for whom Seabourn acts solely as an agent.

Please allow sufficient time pre-cruise for airport landing formalities and transportation time to the pier in order to check-in for the ship prior to the ship departing. All guests must be checked in at least one hour prior to departure. For post-cruise transfers, please allow sufficient time for the ship to be cleared with Immigration and local Customs authorities, and the transportation time to get to the airport for departing flights. Flights booked with Seabourn take these times into consideration when booking.

Seabourn air/sea programs include group transfers between the airport and the pier on the day of embarkation/disembarkation. For deviations in air arrival/departure schedule, private transfers must be purchased separately. Seabourn land/hotel programs include appropriate transfers between the airport, hotel and pier.

Transfers from the port city airport to the ship on day of sailing and from the ship to the port city airport on the day of disembarkation are available for purchase from Seabourn. Transfers are available to Fly Cruise guests and to guests who have independent flight plans. Reservations and payment are required at least 14 days prior to your sailing date. Guests with independent flight arrangements must advise Seabourn of this information at least 14 days prior to sailing.

Carnival Corporation & plc’s environmental stewardship program is a call to action for all employees to protect our oceans, seas, and waterways from environmental harm – ensuring ecosystems, plant life, and aquatic animals thrive, both now and in the future.

Single-Use Items and Plastics Reduction

We are strongly committed to significantly reducing non-essential single-use items, including plastics, on board our ships by 50% by the end of 2021. Despite the pandemic, and the need to continue to use some single-use items for health and sanitation reasons, we continue working towards our goal.

Food Waste Reduction

Food waste is a key global issue and everyone has a part to play in reducing food loss and waste. As part of our commitment to reduce food waste we implemented a task force to improve food waste management across the fleet. We are also installing food waste Bio-Digesters to minimize the volume of food waste.

2030 Goals

• Achieve 50% single-use plastic item reduction by 2021.
• Achieve 30% unit food waste reduction by 2022.
• Achieve 50% food waste reduction by 2030.
• Increase Advanced Waste Water Treatment System coverage to > 75% of our fleet capacity.
• Send a larger percentage of waste to waste-to-energy facilities where practical.
• Partner with primary vendors to reduce upstream packaging volumes.

2050 Aspirations

• Build ships without the need to discharge to the ocean or air (zero-emission ships).
• Send 100% of waste to waste-to energy facilities.
• Partner with primary vendors to ensure near 100% reuse of packaging materials.

Food Waste Biodigesters

In 2020, we continued to install additional biodigesters throughout the fleet. Biodigesters use an aerobic digestion process that takes place within the machines and efficiently breaks down food waste. This green technology also supports and enhances operations on board, making it more efficient for crew members to manage and control food waste.
