• Vrhunska tehnologija: GPS sustav dinamičkog pozicioniranja omogućuje brodu da ostane na mjestu bez ispuštanja sidra na osjetljivo morsko dno. Naši izuzetno učinkoviti motori smanjuju buku i vibracije, minimalno ometajući divlji svijet.
• Biološka sigurnost: Pridržavamo se protokola IAATO i AECO, osiguravajući da i naša posada i gosti održavaju sigurnu udaljenost od divljih životinja te strogo slijede smjernice biološke sigurnosti.
• Učinkovito gorivo i motori: Napredna tehnologija emisija i IMO gorivo s niskim udjelom sumpora.
• Pročišćavanje otpadnih voda: Napredni sustavi pročišćavanja koji osiguravaju minimalan utjecaj na lokalne ekosustave.
• Smanjenje plastike: Posvećeni smo smanjenju našeg ekološkog otiska, a naši brodovi već su više od 95% bez plastike za jednokratnu upotrebu za goste.
• Lokalni izvori i vrt začina na brodu: Gdje god je moguće, nabavljamo proizvode s lokalnih tržišta te održavamo samodostatni vrt začina na brodu, značajno smanjujući otpad i emisije povezane s transportom.
• Obrazovanje o očuvanju: Edukativni program koji potiče dublje razumijevanje okoliša koje posjećujemo.

Službeni jezik na brodu je engleski. Svi časnici, osoblje i posada, kao i lokalni vodiči i regionalni stručnjaci, tečno govore engleski. Sve najave i predavanja bit će održani na engleskom jeziku.
