Going green!





We have seen recently the cruise line trying to do their bit for the environment by completing e-tickets and not sending shore excursion brochures. While this has upset many passengers I think this is a brilliant idea. If you don’t have a computer in your house we all know at least one person who has access to one. There even internet cafe if you get really desperate!!



Now Celebrity is taking up another notch by trying to educate passengers on board with a series of on board seminaries giving the environmental impacts of cruising.



Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, senior vice president of hotel operations, explained: "Our guests tend to have a keen sense of curiosity and interest in learning new things, and Oceans Ahead offers them a behind-the-scenes look at our shipboard operations across the fleet, with a special focus on Celebrity's sustainability practices."



An insight into how the ships work and how exactly the cruise line is trying and going to reduce its carbon footprint will be reduced in its Oceans Ahead programme. Passengers will be also be able to find out how Celebrity is investing in marine conservation, education and technology through the Ocean fund.
