INVESTING IN SUSTAINABILITY IS CRUCIAL🌱   In Northern Europe, sustainability is an integrated part of our lifestyle, and in Cruise Baltic, it is simply at the core of everything we do. Every year, we create an annual Sustainability Report highlighting some of the many sustainable initiatives from our dedicated partner ports and destinations. Some initiatives are simple, and some are more comprehensive to implement, but most importantly, they all contribute to our joint goal of making cruising a sustainable vacation offer in 2030. "We must always rethink how things are done and how we act. We are proud to be front-runners and inspire the industry to take small and big steps in the right direction towards #responsiblecruising,” says Klaus Bondam, Director of Cruise Baltic. What are the three key takeaways from the report? 💚 The destinations in Cruise Baltic have a strong focus on extending the season by making the region attractive all year round. 💚 Our partners are actively working to increase local economic value by enhancing port-city infrastructure, promoting local shopping, and educating locals to better cater to cruise guests, etc. 💚 Implementing onshore power supply is a strong commitment to the partners of Cruise Baltic, and even though it can be an extensive process, we are moving in the right direction.

As we continue to review travel programmes to optimise costs, deals, suppliers, experience, and safety, an opportunity still exists to start identifying regions, top routes, and specific suppliers where we can shift large volumes of our travel activity towards sustainability. These shifts should be backed by data and analysis and match broader organisational goals. In “Navigating the green road: A guide to transforming corporate travel into sustainable journeys,” Glenn Thorsen, FCM Consulting’s Global Sustainability Lead, breaks down how travel managers can start their travel transition, what markets have the best options for sustainability, and how to get your travellers onboard with the transition.
