Cruise Basics - Pollution and Hazards

General information about onboard hazards and how cruise lines are helping minimize their environmental impact.

Cruise Ships and Diesel Engines star
Diesel engines have been used for decades - but they create nasty pollution, fumes, and noise. Some new cruise ships are going with a more environmentally and people friendly engine.

Cruise Ships and Pollution star
Cruise ships are giant, floating cities, complete with populations of 3,000 or more. This means they have the potential for creating vast amounts of pollution.

Cruising the Green Seas star
The cruise industry is making great strides to lessen its impact on the environment. This article will highlight some initiatives that cruise ships employ to reduce pollution and protect the seas in which they sail.

Don't Fall Off the Ship star
In recent years it has become clear that cruise ships are not impossible to fall off and despite stringent safety regulations passengers continue to fall off ships.

Hazards of Candles and Incense star
If you´re going on a cruise, do NOT bring any candles, incense or flammable items. Remember, your entire home is afloat and able to burn down.

The Clean Cruise Ship Act star
With current laws, a ship can dump sewage into the ocean as long as it´s more than 3 miles from shore. Consider that when you´re on a cruise ship deck, you can see land from about 9 miles away.
