Helping to protect the world’s oceans is a key part of G Adventures’ responsible tourism strategy, including a reduction in the use of plastic in its operations.

The company’s ship G Expedition now only serves filtered water onboard, not bottled, while plastic straws are no longer used.


Brian Young, G Adventures’ managing director, said passengers can also participate in environmental projects while on expedition trips, such as helping to collect data on sea temperatures.


“We also have guest lecturers onboard as part of our education programme on the conservation of marine wildlife,” he added. “Our challenge is to do more to support the world’s oceans, protecting them from waste and plastics.”
