The recent IPCC environmental report was yet another reminder of the serious damage we are doing to the planet. And last week we saw record high temperatures in Europe, while at the same time it seems like half the Mediterranean is burning in front of us. Don’t forget the devastating floods last month in Germany and Belgium. Or the heat waves sweeping across the Pacific Northwest. Oh, and Siberia is on fire. I don’t mean to sound alarmist, but Siberia is on fire.
Okay, maybe I’m trying to be alarmist, but I think that’s a reasonable reaction given the situation we find ourselves in. Industries around the world need to seriously consider their operations and their impact on the world we all live in, and unsurprisingly, the cruise industry is part of the problem. In this issue, we take a look at LNG, as we try to determine whether it can help reduce carbon emissions from cruise ships (it probably does) and whether we will see widespread adoption (we probably should. ).
Whether you are on a desktop, tablet or smartphone, you can read the magazine for free online.
In addition to this, we take a look at how different operators are implementing the mandatory Covid-19 vaccines for passengers, and how wearable technology is helping to improve contactless service on board ships, which is particularly useful these days.
Finally, we chat with Cruise Baltic and Cruise Norway about their new technology to help cruise ships plan their trips and avoid port congestion, and profile Celebrity Cruises’ new ship, which is touted as the destination of choice. for a luxurious and holistic well-being. to live.
