Cunard Cruises: Pioneering the Shift to Shore Power for a Greener Voyage

In travel news for August 17, 2023 we talk about Cunard’s commitment to a more sustainable Cruise.

Embarking on a new voyage of sustainability, Cunard Cruises has announced a significant leap forward in their green initiatives. The renowned cruise line can now power its fleet using shore power while docked. This major development lets the ships rest their onboard engines and instead plug into a city's local power grid, remarkably cutting down on emissions and noise during their stays.

Travelers aboard the Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria, and Queen Elizabeth can now relish a quieter and environmentally-friendlier port experience. The good news doesn't stop there. The upcoming Queen Anne, which will make her maiden voyage in May 2024, is also geared up for this sustainable technology.

Transitioning to shore power is no minor achievement. It underscores Cunard's earnest dedication to pave a sustainable path for the cruising world. By adopting this power mode, the Cruise line promotes healthier environments in the ports they visit.

A representative from Cunard articulated the company's vision, stating, "This is not just about technology. It's about upholding our core values and taking measurable steps to ensure a brighter, greener future for our guests and the destinations we cherish."

For those passionate about eco-conscious travel, Cunard's stride is a beacon, illuminating the path for other Cruise lines to follow. As travelers, we all yearn for serene ocean vistas and untouched landscapes. With moves like this, Cunard is ensuring that these treasures remain pristine for generations to come.
