Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd.’s Post

🌍 Happy Earth Day! 🌿Meet Mariana Trusca proud Environmental Officer at Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. Today - every day - we celebrate the commitment of CLIA member lines to sustainability and environmental stewardship, as these efforts and investments support sustainable cruise travel. ♻️ As the cruise industry continues towards net-zero emissions by 2050, a new and critical area will be how seafarers obtain the skills needed for safely operating innovative technologies, including navigation systems and the handling of alternative fuels. As the cruise industry transitions, thousands of seafarers will need to be trained in alternative fuel technologies, the number progressively increasing each decade, especially into the 2040s. 💡CLIA member ships operate with a circular economy philosophy: some cruise operators can repurpose up to 100% of waste generated on board by removing, reusing, recycling, and converting waste to energy. 👩✈️👨✈️ Follow the link to discover more stories from our proud crew members and know more about “skills for the future”: https://lnkd.in/gAAvdD2y #earthday #skillsforfuture #sustainability #wearecruise

Carl-Oscar Lawaczeck, CEO of OceanSky Cruises , discusses the environmental benefits of modern large-scale airship travel in this latest article. Air travel is the most carbon-intensive activity most of us will ever undertake. Greenwashing by the aviation sector is widespread, and there is an increased scrutiny from policy makers, with legislation such as the EU green claims directive increasing transparency requirements and pressure on operators. Could airships be the answer to the sustainable air mobility problem? - A recent Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) shows that airships emit significantly less CO2 than airplanes and even electric trains. - The required infrastructure for airships is minimal, and minimally disruptive to the environment. - The cruise speed of airships is between that of an aeroplane and a train. Will consumers be will to make a sacrifice in speed to reduce their personal emissions? - Airships are limited by weight, instead of space as with aeroplanes. This translates to a generous amount of space per passenger. What do you think? Carl-Oscar will be a key note speaker at the Airship Association International Conference (AAIC) 2024. --------------- Join the Airship Association for as little as £10/US$12 per year, and get exclusive access to our networking services, quarterly publication, and digest emails, as well as discounted event tickets: https://lnkd.in/ePa5WtQX Learn about and register for AAIC 2024, our international conference to be held in Zeppelinheim this October: https://lnkd.in/egSjVDYJ #AirshipAssociation #AAIC2024 #LTANews #OceanSkyCruises #HAV #LTAResearch

Travelling this summer? Why not consider taking a train instead of airplanes for your Euro-summer travel plans? 🚈 Below you can find Eindhoven University of Technology's extensive train map that provides you with a great overview on which cities in Europe are easily accessible by train. When comparing the travel time to the hours you lose in an airport, and stuck on planes (plus travel time to and from airports) for example, then you might also realise that train travel is potentially even more time efficient as well! 🤗 Many of these routes even offer comfortable overnight-train options, so no precious holiday time gets wasted 😴🕰 The numbers on CO2 savings do speak for themselves, I trust no one of us needs an explanation or persuasion on this anymore 😉 #Sustainabletravel #traintravel #Eurosummer #holidayseason #travelwisely

🌿 #SustainableTuesday: Embrace Sustainable Travel This Summer! 🌿 As the summer holiday season kicks off, many Dutch travelers are planning their vacations. This year, let's make a conscious effort to choose more sustainable ways to travel. Instead of opting for planes or cars, why not explore the beauty of Europe by train? 🚄 Taking the train is not only an adventure but also a fantastic way to reduce your carbon footprint. We've created special train maps that offer alternative transport options and provide a direct calculation of the CO2 savings you can achieve by choosing these greener methods. In a similar manner, our colleagues at TIS are currently busy with their very own Sustainable Travel Pilot Research Project. They have been busy collecting valuable data from colleagues at @Eindhoven University of Technology about their travel habits, which helps them to understand and improve our joint efforts to become a more Sustainable University. Thank you for registering your travels with TIS if you have, and for supporting our journey toward more sustainable travel practices by taking inspiration in our train maps! 🌍 Let's make this summer one to remember for all the right reasons—beautiful memories and a positive impact on our planet. 🌱 https://lnkd.in/e6BDS8YW #SustainableTravel #SustainableTUe #SustainableTravelPolicy #EcoFriendlyTravel #SummerHolidays #EcoFriendly #TrainTravel #CO2Savings #TISustainability #TravelSmart #GreenChoices
