When you think of a cruise, don’t clear, blue, pristine oceans come to mind? We at the Cruise Lines International Association are doing all we can and more to ensure this picture does not change. 2010 marks the 35th anniversary of CLIA , and we are celebrating thirty-five years of progress toward innovating new technologies and operating our ships in ways that minimize the impact cruising has on the environment. Our industry has a vested interest in protecting the environment, because it is upon our beautiful oceans that we sail.

“CLIA at 35: Steering a Sustainable Course” and its companion video demonstrates the cruise industry’s commitment to the environment and how far we have come in 35 years. Read chapters on Regulations; Waste Management; Emissions and Energy Reduction; and Partnerships.
