This was the conclusion made by Clia from its 2022 Global Cruise Industry Environmental Technologies and Practices Report, which showed progress towards the industry’s net-zero carbon cruising goals globally by 2050.

The report highlights the increasing number of vessels launching over the next few years that will be able to incorporate zero-emissions propulsion when available, as well as the growing investment to equip ships to plug in to shoreside electricity.
