NORWEGIAN Cruise Line (NCL) this morning announced a new partnership with Take 3 for the Sea in Australia, supporting the organisation’s work in reducing plastic pollution in local waterways and oceans.
The pact will see NCL create and undertake a range of engaging activities to encourage awareness of the movement among the travel community, while “empowering stakeholders at an individual level to recognise the important role they can play,” the copany said.
Ben Angell, NCL VP APAC, said conserving the health of oceans and reducing plastic pollution was an important part of the line’s Sail & Sustain program.
“As the first major cruise line to eradicate single-use plastic water bottles from our ships, we’re proud to say that so far across our three sister brands at NCLH we’ve kept over 14 million plastic water bottles and 50 million plastic straws from harming the environment,” he said.
Take 3 for the Sea CEO Jacquie Riddell said she was delighted to have NCL on board as a partner, noting that this year’s Norwegian Walk for Wellness will include a series of special Take 3 for the Sea challenges.
