Norwegian Cruise Line is to phase out all single-use plastic bottles across its fleet by the end of this year.

NCL will relax mask policy on sailings departing the US

NCL has signed a deal with water brand Just to replace six million plastic bottles. Just uses plant-based cartons, with paper grown in responsibly managed forests.

The bottle’s cap is made from sugarcane-based plastic. The packaging is refillable and made of 82% renewable materials.

Just claims its bottling facilities in the US and Northern Ireland also mean it can meet demand around the world without shipping water from a single production source.
