Cruise industry environmental impact and emissions

Overview

The cruise industry is facing scrutiny regarding its environmental impact and progress toward climate targets. While individual companies like Carnival Corporation are setting more ambitious decarbonization goals—such as a target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions intensity by 25% by 2029—broader industry data suggests a more complex landscape.

Reports indicate that progress toward climate targets is stagnating for many operators, with some cruise lines showing a decline in target achievement. Environmental concerns persist regarding the high CO2 equivalents generated per passenger and the continued use of heavy fuel oil by many operators, which is noted for being significantly more harmful to marine environments than standard fuels.
