We’d like to be sustainable…but…• Sustainability is expensive and has

no tangible benefit• Saving fuel will reduce the customer

experience• We have a fleet of older ships, we

must be less environmentally friendly than anyone else

• No-one is really interested

• Show me the money• Details; details; details• Make it easy• Small things can add up

to make a big difference• Sustainable does not

necessarily equal worse• Start with the things

you’re best at

The resultsSustainability is expensive and has no tangible benefit

In two years we’ve saved several million pounds in fuel and water costs.

Saving fuel will reduce the customer experience

We go to a greater variety of ports than ever before, and our passengers spend more time ashore.

We have a fleet of older ships, we must be less environmentally friendly than anyone else

We believe that Thomson Cruises has Britain’s lowest carbon footprint per passenger night.

No-one is interested

More than 85% of passengers think we are doing well.
