- Norwegian Viva and the Prima Class prioritize energy efficiency and passenger experience, while Seabourn Pursuit achieves PC6 Polar Class standards and pioneers LR’s Under Water Noise notation.
- Silversea’s Silver Nova stands out as an LNG-fueled marvel capable of emission-free port operation, offering a substantial reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to previous vessels, with Lloyd’s Register playing a vital role in advancing sustainability in the cruise industry.
Cruise Line’s Prima Class Vessel
The cruise industry enters a new era of sustainability with the delivery of Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Viva, the second vessel from the Prima Class. These eco-friendly ships, supported by LR, focus on energy efficiency and promise an elevated passenger experience.
Seabourn Pursuit
Seabourn Cruises welcomes the LR-classed Seabourn Pursuit, designed for polar exploration with PC6 Polar Class standards. Equipped with submarines, Zodiacs, and an expert expedition team, it’s set to navigate the waters of Greenland, Iceland, and Norway, while pioneering LR’s Under Water Noise notation.
Silversea’s LNG-Powered Marvel
Silversea’s Silver Nova, an LNG-fueled cruise ship, completes its maiden voyage with LR classification. Remarkably, it can achieve emission-free operation in port using fuel cells and batteries, contributing to a 40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to previous vessels.
