AIDA Cruises aims to develop innovative solutions and use technologies with the aim of putting the first zero-emission ship into service as early as 2030.
By 2040, ten years before the IMO climate targets, the cruise company wants to be on track with its fleet in an emission-neutral way. AIDA Cruises is thus making an active contribution to achieving the Paris climate targets and the European Green Deal.
With its green cruising strategy, the company shows how it has been facing the global challenges of climate change for many years
says AIDA.
As part of its Green Cruising strategy, AIDA Cruises is not only investing in environmental technology for its newbuildings, but is also working on finding technical solutions for the ships in the existing fleet.
It is about the question of whether it will be possible to retrofit fuel cells on a ship that are so efficient in the near future that they can supply a large part of the energy required for hotel operations, for example. Or how to recycle waste as recyclables on board for energy generation and much more
The careful use of resources is another elementary pillar of AIDA Cruises’ commitment to sustainability. The aim is, for example, to reduce food waste per person on board by 30% by the end of 2022 compared to 2019.
The number of single-use plastic items has already been reduced by 50% compared to 2018. By the end of 2022, savings of 75 percent compared to 2018 are to be achieved.
