Carbon-Neutral Cruise Destinations

Royal Caribbean's Perfect Day at Lelepa is Sustainably Built

Perfect Day at Lelepa was recently announced by Royal Caribbean as a first-of-its-kind carbon-neutral cruise destination in the world at Vanuatu. The island in the South Pacific boasts different offerings from the cruise line’s other private island, especially as it will be created in collaboration with the community of Vanuatu to showcase natural beauty, diversity and culture.

The private island destination, coming in 2022, is set to be sustainably built to protect the ecosystems of the island and sustainable architectural firm Cox Architecture will be the lead architect on the project.

Even those who have already experienced Perfect Day at CocoCay will want to check out Perfect Day at Lelepa, as it will have its own unique flavor.
