Cherish the Planet
At Emerald Cruises, our Cherish the Planet ethos is about more than just environmental sustainability — we are committed to creating positive change in all areas of our business and to fostering sustainable practices and rich community partnerships. Our desire is to protect the Earth by leaving as small a footprint as possible.
Our pillars of sustainability
Cherish the Planet has six key focus areas
1. Reducing our waste
We’ve eliminated all single-use plastic on board and work closely with, and fund, local projects that collect and recycle plastic waste, helping to maintain the world’s natural beauty and improve living conditions. We provide our guests with complimentary refillable Emerald Cruises bottles and filtered water stations across our yachts, as well as refillable toiletries in our suites — and no plastic straws are used on board.
2. Addressing CO2 emissions
We have concentrated our efforts on minimizing our environmental impact, and support causes aligned with rebalancing our CO2 emissions, including exceptional carbon-conscious experiences, with hiking and e-biking now available on many of our itineraries. We are also working to calculate the CO2 emissions of each our sailings so we can continue in the future to implement new technologies and initiatives which ensure our carbon footprint is reduced.
3. Sourcing sustainably
At Emerald Cruises we are focused on exceptional quality and responsible sourcing, with a view to support local economies, minimize food storage and reduce environmental impacts from transportation. Our commitments and actions include:
■ Sourcing fresh produce locally from destination suppliers.
■ Engaging with our suppliers on their responsibilities.
■ The development and implementation of Sustainable Procurement Guidelines.
4. Growing with communities
We are committed to meaningful and respectful cultural interactions between local inhabitants and our guests. We aim to have internally certified inclusions that ensure local businesses benefit from our journeys. We’re also working with leaders and third parties within the communities we visit to ensure sustainability for the future.
5. Grow from within, value diversity
At Emerald Cruises, we truly value diversity — it is a strength to have different perspectives within our business and we believe it helps us find the best solutions and services for our guests. We treat all crew and all employees equally, independent of gender, sexual orientation, age, race or religion and we currently employ over 50 nationalities from across the globe throughout our vessels.
6. Advocate health, safety & security
We have created an engaging workplace at Emerald Cruises that supports the well-being of our staff, prioritizing health, and safety. We also want every member of staff to be fully immersed in the ethos at the heart of Cherish the Planet. To ensure this, Emerald Cruises staff will complete extensive training that supports their well-being and will ensure health and safety is prioritized.

Ordinarily, the claimant has to pay the fees to initiate a AAA arbitration, but if You wish to commence an arbitration against Us, and You are seeking to recover less than $10,000 (inclusive of attorneys’ fees), then We will pay the filing fee on Your behalf. If You are seeking a recovery greater than $10,000, then You will pay the filing fee charged by AAA, but We will reimburse that fee if You win the arbitration. You agree to maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and shall not disclose that fact of the arbitration, any documents exchanged as part of any mediation, the proceedings of the arbitration, the arbitrator’s decision and the existence or amount of any award, unless required to conduct the arbitration or unless required by law or court order. The parties waive the right to rely upon any state or federal law or statute which creates an exception to enforcement of the requirement that all Disputes be resolved pursuant to arbitration as set forth in this paragraph.

IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTION OR LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS CONTRACT, THE PARTIES HEREBY SPECIFICALLY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THAT EITHER PARTY MIGHT HAVE TO DEMAND A JURY TRIAL.
11.4. This clause 11 and any term, clause, or sections in these Conditions which is, by its nature, intended to survive termination of the Contract shall survive termination of the Contract.
