Swim stops When itineraries allow for a swim stop passengers are requested to carefully read the swimming instructions and attend the ship’s briefings for safety.

SUSTAINABILITY

AT HOME AT SEA are words we do not take lightly. We strive for a world where ‘at home at sea’ is not a luxury of our time, but a standard for generations to come as we join the United Nations’ sustainable development goals and embrace our natural playground with love and care. Monitoring our impact on the environment with ships running on Marine diesel Oil, reducing plastic waste via our in continuous development single-use plastic reduction plan, and adhering to stringent policies on garbage management; are some of the practical ways we do so, but that is just the beginning. Our guiding principle is not only to avoid leaving a footprint, but to positively impact the areas we visit; and we cordially invite our guests to join hands with us and the local communities as we get involved and bring positive impact. The natural playground graciously offered by the sea is yours to discover on board our floating homes.

CONTRIBUTING TO THE WELFARE OF THE PLACES WE VISIT is an intricate part of the Variety Cruises philosophy following the guidelines of the VARIETY CARES FOUNDATION. It is our philosophy to embrace local communities we visit with the dual mission of providing our guests and authentic local experience as well as to support the communities sharing with us their landscapes, natural resources, culture, heritage, and infrastructure. We source local services and products that allow for in-depth cultural collaboration including fresh local cuisine influences. But we go a step further by truly getting involved with the local communities. We join hands with the locals discovering and understanding the local communities either by joining existing impactful charitable projects such as KIVOTOS TOU KOSMOU, ARCHIPELAGO and 4OCEAN or even starting from scratch helping bring the change that the communities share with us that is lacking. The most impactful example is the LAMIN KOTO SUPERSCHOOL operating as our fully pledged education program and school infrastructure in the Lamin Koto village of The Gambia. The School founded in 2012 provides 100 local children their first steps to a strong education and manages KUNTAUR FILM FESTIVAL a generator projected film education program showcasing children films to villages without access to electricity. Join hands with us as you take off your tourist gloves and join the community by getting involved and truly immersing yourself in the destination.
