Cruise Lines: Working Towards Sustainable Trips

"Passengers cruising the Peruvian Amazon can take in moody riverscapes and spot pink dolphins from the top deck, while also experiencing sustainability in the ship’s materials: railings and decking are made from Resysta (a rice-husk, salt, and mineral-oil composite) and many floor coverings are spun from recycled plastic—about one two-liter bottle per square foot—making environmental protection a tactile part of the voyage; the innovative vessel launched in 2021 and exemplifies efforts to outfit ships with environmentally friendly, ethically sourced interiors." - Chrissie McClatchie Chrissie McClatchie Chrissie McClatchie writes about travel, wine, and yachting from her home on the Côte d’Azur, where she has lived for nearly two decades.
