Myth busting

IN A world of the 24-hour news cycle, it’s important that our agent members have factual answers to their customers’ questions. CLIA’s role includes helping to educate agents on how best to address these questions.

Recent media stories have singled out the cruise industry when reporting on emissions.

Environmental sustainability is at the heart of the cruise lines’ economic model. As an industry that forms less than 1% of the global maritime community, we are proud to be leaders in developing responsible environmental practices and innovative technologies that lead the world’s shipping sector in reducing emissions and waste.

We take our environmental commitment very seriously and will continue to focus on improvement in this area as a priority.

Many cruise lines exceed environmental regulatory requirements in a number of areas and continue to work closely with regulators around the world.

CLIA Cruise Line members are leaders in the maritime sector in controlling air emissions and in the development and deployment of Advanced Waste Water Treatment Systems.
