Protecting the world’s seas and the rich marine life they support should be a way of life, here are ways you can help!   - Guest Presentations: Cruise lines may invite you to attend one of their Environmental Stewardship presentations given by the ship's Environmental Officer. On cruises to Alaska and Antarctica, they also offer guests the opportunity to attend a variety of other environmental and ecological presentations given by one of the onboard enrichment speakers.
- The "Re-Use Your Towel" Option: Similar to many fine hotels ashore, you can signal your cabin steward of your desire for fresh towels simply by leaving them on the floor. If you would like to re-use your towel, simply hang it on the bathroom door or towel rack to let the cabin steward know your intentions. This helps the environment by reducing energy, water and detergents required for daily washings.
- Turn-Off Cabin Lights and TV When Not in Use: When ashore, energy conservation goes a long way to helping us protect the environment.
- Close Exterior Doors: Guests can help maintain interior temperatures and humidity while conserving energy and helping protect the environment by assuring that exterior doors in both public and cabin spaces are not left open un-necessarily.
- No Garbage Overboard: Trash receptacles are provided on all open decks for your use, so please do not throw anything overboard.
- Use the Proper Waste Container: Cruise lines provide waste containers for paper, aluminum cans and garbage throughout the vessel. Using the right container goes a long way to helping ensure the waste is properly and efficiently managed.
- Protect Wildlife: Please do not disturb or feed birds and other wildlife. And if SCUBA diving or snorkeling, please do not touch or handle coral reefs.
- No Litter Ashore: Make sure those around you use trash receptacles ashore or carry it back onboard with them.
