By embracing these eco-friendly propulsion systems, Carnival aims to reduce its carbon footprint and lead the industry toward a greener future. This commitment to sustainability aligns with the growing awareness of environmental issues and reflects the cruise industry's determination to balance the pleasures of oceanic travel with responsible practices.
