ECO-FRIENDLY FEATURES
Some of the eco-friendly features on board include a variety of environmental technology, such as advanced on-board waste water treatment systems and waste management handling, which helps avoid alien ocean organisms from being transported from one part of the ocean to other, which could threaten local ecosystems.
They have also significantly reduced plastic waste on the ship through a programme to eliminate or replace single use plastic items.
