Meeting Planner Careers

Many people are striving to “live green” in every possible way and that can include wedding and honeymoon plans. It can be a dilemma for a couple who don’t want to give up their dreams of a romantic honeymoon cruise. They want the dream but not at the expense of the planet. The good news is that several cruise lines are doing their part to reduce their carbon footprint and working to keep the oceans clean.

The Celebrity Solstice Cruise ship has 216 solar panels that power the elevators and 7,000 LED lights. It isn’t enough to power the ship, but certainly is a step toward the right direction. The vessel is aerodynamic, making her more fuel efficient, and has a water filtration system that purifies water before it is dumped into the ocean. Tin, aluminum, and glass are recycled as well. A Caribbean cruise on the Celebrity Solstice is a good choice for green couples.

The first cruise line to earn a Green Star notation environmental award was the Italian line, Costa. Costa works with the World Wildlife Fund to protect marine habitats, decrease energy use, and educates staff and guests on environmental issues. Each of their 15 vessels is designed to be a floating palace complete with beautiful woodwork, art displays of all kinds, and marble adornment throughout the ship.
