Royal Caribbean announces the world's first carbon-neutral cruise destination.
Royal Caribbean develops the world's first carbon-free private sea destination and announced on Monday its latest plan to build a sustainable private island in the South Pacific.
According to the press release of the cruise line, the island, known as “Perfect Day at Lelepa”, will be built in Vanuatu, taking into account sustainability with features designed to “protect the island's ecosystems”.
The company also explained that the island will be the first private carbon-free sea destination in the world.
“We believe our destinations should be designed in a sustainable manner,” said Michael Bailey, President, and CEO of Royal Caribbean.
This idea goes beyond just protecting the environmental features of Lelepa and involves showing respect for the people and traditions that make this place special. ”
Bailey added, the island was created in partnership with the Vanuatu community, “to demonstrate the natural ecological beauty and diverse local culture of the island's population as well as to provide employment and education.”
At the announcement of the island's plans, Vanuatu Prime Minister Charles Salway described the island as a "real paradise" and said the project with the cruise line was a "big step forward" in their partnership, according to Travel Pulse.
“Today marks a major step forward in our nation's close island relationship with Royal Caribbean and those that will support the sustainable growth of future generations,” he said, adding that the people of Ni-Vanuatu look forward to welcoming Royal Caribbean guests from around the world to enjoy the extraordinary adventures and relax during their perfect day at Lelepa. ”.
According to Royal Caribbean, Perfect Day will look distinct from the experience of the other Royal Caribbean island, Perfect Day at CocoCay.
The island is expected to open sometime in 2022.
