All of Hurtigruten’s cruises are dedicated to protecting and preserving the vulnerable wildlife we see and ecosystems we visit, with sustainability at the core of everything we do. The bio diversity of the UNESCO World Heritage Galapagos Marine Reserve is extraordinary. We help keep it that way by closely following wildlife protection guidelines. Here are some of the other ways Hurtigruten upholds environmentally responsible travel, including reducing fuel emissions and more. Climate action Fuel emissions contribute to global warming. We are committed to continued innovation in green technology and cleaner fuel. We introduced the world's first hybrid electric-powered cruise ships, and many of our ships use liquefied natural gas and biogas, a renewable fossil-free fuel produced from organic waste. Plastic and pollution Plastic pollution is the biggest threat to our oceans’ health, wreaking havoc on marine wildlife and marine ecosystems. We were the first major cruise line in the world to ban all single-use plastic from our entire fleet of ships. We also have a long history of engaging in beach clean- ups and use every landing as an opportunity to contribute to a cleaner and healthier environment. People and communities We are dedicated to creating a positive impact on the communities we visit. We source products and services from local suppliers and offer our guests insight into the culture of the communities we visit. We believe in the importance of cultural exchange and mutual respect and understanding. Education and science Expedition Team members accompany each cruise to guide you and provide meaningful scientific and cultural context. Guests can also join in Citizen Science projects that contribute to scientific research projects around the world.
