In celebration of World Oceans Day, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings
Ltd. (NYSE:NCLH), a leading global cruise company which operates
the Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas
Cruises brands, announced today that it has partnered with Ocean
Conservancy to protect and ensure the long-term health of our
oceans. The company will join several of the world’s leading
corporations and organizations in Ocean Conservancy’s Trash Free
Seas Alliance®, actively working toward solutions that will
mitigate plastic waste entering the ocean.
“The success of our business is dependent on the
health of our oceans and, together with Ocean Conservancy, we are
taking a step forward in our commitment to protect the world’s
oceans," said Frank Del Rio, president and chief executive officer
of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. “We are excited to
lead the cruise industry by joining the Trash Free Seas Alliance®
and support Ocean Conservancy’s vision of a world with waterways,
beaches and oceans free of plastic waste.”
Founded in 2012, the Trash Free Seas Alliance® brings together
thought leaders from industry, conservation and academia to create
a forum for pragmatic, real-world collaboration focused on the
measurable reduction of ocean trash.
”Nothing connects people to the ocean more than time spent on
the water, and with Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings offering that
experience to more than 2.5 million guests each year, we believe
this is a tremendous opportunity to foster greater stewardship of
our oceans,” said Janis Searles Jones, chief executive officer at
Ocean Conservancy. “What’s more, Ocean Conservancy believes
strongly that it will take all of us—including industry leaders—to
stem the tide of ocean plastic. We are grateful for Norwegian’s
leadership and look forward to working with them to reduce the
amount of plastic flowing into the ocean.”
Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings’ membership in Ocean
Conservancy’s Trash Free Seas Alliance® is part of the company’s
global environmental program, ‘Sail & Sustain’, which reflects
the company’s mission of providing truly exceptional cruise
vacation experiences for all of its guests while minimizing its
