Environment group says cruise companies are 'greenwashing'
NABU
The Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union (NABU) claims that cruise ship companies operating in Europe are 'greenwashing'. “For years now, the shipping companies have proclaimed wholeheartedly that they want to become more environmentally friendly. In practice, however, there is hardly anything substantial other than polished PR-texts,” says NABU managing director Leif Miller. In its Cruise Ship Ranking 2016, NABU says that “regarding the environment and health, a cruise on no European ship can be recommended unreservedly”.
