In 2023, Carnival produced 2.55 million tonnes of CO2 emissions from its cruise ships operating in Europe, surpassing the total emissions of Glasgow, which was 2.43 million tonnes.
Jacob Armstrong, shipping policy manager at T&E, highlights that larger cruise companies like Carnival have increased vessels and ship sizes significantly, which doesn't translate to lower emissions.
Carnival Corporation achieved a profit of $1.95 billion in 2023 after facing substantial losses during the pandemic, illustrating the financial recovery of the cruise industry.
The cruise industry is rapidly growing, with the number of cruise vessels increasing from 21 in the 1970s to 515 today, raising concerns about its environmental impact.
