> According to the analysis, one individual on a typical cruise ship emits roughly 421.43kg of CO² per day. Alternatively, one individual staying in a high-end hotel, using carbon-heavy transportation and choosing higher carbon activities emits just 81.33 kg of CO² per day. The carbon footprint of an average land-based vacationer is around 51.88kg, less than one-eighth of the average cruisegoer.
A 5-day cruise causes 2 tons of CO2 emissions! Insanity.

Cruise Ships are only profitable because we aren’t factoring in the true cost of using oil.
If we did they wouldn’t be economically feasible
All cruises are bad for the environment. If more people stopped taking them then we wouldn’t have to deal with them.
Cruising is a disaster for climate. Period.
