Sustainability Ethos

It's more than sustainability... it's a commitment to creating positive change

At Scenic, creating positive change through sustainable practices and rich community.

Partnerships are central to our ethos. Our Cherish the Planet program reinforces our commitment to environmentally responsible tourism and protecting the places and communities we visit.

We aim to leave as small a footprint as possible while proudly forming positive and enriching associations with the communities we visit.

^{Created in accordance with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs), our Cherish the Planet program has six key}^{focus areas, each with defined priorities and established benchmarks for improvement.}

Scenic Eclipse Antarctica Paradise Harbor

Addressing CO2 Emissions

We are committed to designing and operating our ships in an efficient and more sustainable way, hence reducing the impact of fuel consumption on the environment. We have engaged the services of Ecollective, an independent third-party organisation, to calculate the average carbon footprint of our guests and assist in setting achievable targets.

Grow from Within - Value Diversity

The people at Scenic Group are at the very core of what makes our journeys truly memorable. We value diversity and currently employ over 50 nationalities from across the globe. We believe it is a strength to have different perspectives and that it helps us find the best solutions and services for our guests. At Scenic, we treat all crew and employees equally, independent of gender, sexual orientation, age, race, or religion.

Growing with Communities

We are committed to meaningful and respectful cultural interactions and are proud of the positive associations that we have built within communities all around the world. In consultation with local leaders and in accordance with internal accreditations, we aim to include at least one Cherish the Planet experience in each itinerary. Our goal is to ensure local businesses benefit from our visit as we work together towards a sustainable future.
