The Future of the Cruise Industry | ENDEVR Documentary
Watch ‘When the VIRUS taught the World to FEAR’ here: https://youtu.be/3tXBK2DLGn4
Cruise trips are as popular now as they were pre-pandemic. But there is a dark side to the industry with its glossy brochures and dream destinations. Environmental impacts and lesser-known safety risks can become a serious threat.
More ocean-liners are docked in European ports today than before the pandemic. But environmental impacts, health issues caused by exhaust gases, and lesser-known safety risks sometimes make cruise travel a hazard. The bigger the ships become, the greater the number of people who cannot be rescued in an emergency. International regulations were changed after the Costa Concordia capsized in 2012, but it wasn’t long before the next marine disaster showed just how difficult a rescue operation can be. In 2019, the cruise ship Viking Sky ran into trouble with over 1300 passengers on board. Rough seas meant it was unsafe to use lifeboats.
But even when everything goes to plan, the cruise industry faces major challenges. Shipping companies claim they are reducing their carbon footprint by using exhaust gas filters and “green” propulsion systems powered by electricity or liquid natural gas. But even insiders see some of these activities as PR campaigns and greenwashing strategies. It’s time the industry took action.

I knew when these behemoth monstrosities first started appearing that that would create huge problems. I hate them and only cruise on the older, smaller ships now.

For the delicate ecosystem of the Aegean islands they are a menace! A smelly, roaring giant looming over the island as it approaches

We just sailed through the Adriatic and the Aegean sea last week, we have been on the MSC Sinfonia cruise ship.
The room, service, staff and everything were brilliant but I just couldn't relax, specially during the last stormy night…At least I know it now, boats are not for me. Respect to all the staff who can manage to stay on deck for months and months…

So this is a documentary purely on scientific stances based on numbers. It is sad that is leaves out the ethical concept. Cruise ships are mostly used by the rich to enjoy an unfair holiday on the expense of the rest of the world. Regardless of the marine disaster what would've occurred had the Viking Cruise ship collided with the Bergen coast, it would've been completely unneccesary if all were just for the enjoyment of some rich people gambling with the fate of the world.

This is a very one way documentary unfortunately

Absolutely very one sided report. This whole Zero emissions fad is a complete lie. No matter what the energy to power these ships must be produced somewhere.

In addition to what "…catalano9557" says there is another problem: once a passenger with a virus that was not detected before or during embarkation, for one reason or another, will most likely infect several people on board before they become aware of what is going on…….but huge cruise ship make money and people want to have fun so there will always be a constant tension…….but hopefully, in the long run, things will improve a little…

Wait another 50 years. The population on the planned with plummet down by 50%. The birth rates are declining almost everywhere. So less people – less pollution

Rightly or wrongly economics trumps pollution. The residents of port cities benefit enormously from tourism to include,employment, shops, restaurants, hotels, tour groups, and services provided to tour groups. So if you wanted the cleaner air and you were passionate about it, just ban the cruise ships. Or go even further and ban the freighter traffic, and all the small pleasure boats that spew pollution with their outboard and inboard engines and your fishing vessels. I don't cruise and never will as it doesn't appeal to me but don't get high and mighty about cruise ship pollution. You have the power to ban them, go ahead and do it but don't complain if you do not.

You are way late to the party.
Cruising has been back up and running for two years now.
BTW — most of the cruise ports are very dependent on tourism.

The major problem in my opinion is the absurd size that these ships are being built. I don't understand the attraction of paying to spend a vacation in an overcrowded environment that looks like a shopping center.

These clumsy shapes are not for the open seas with unexpected stormy conditions etc. They TOWER unreasonably far too much in an unbalanced manner when the older liners which sat lower and more gracefully must have been designed like that to enable efficient management of movement through oceanic waters in all sorts of weathers. Pure greed !

Advert for a cruise ship came on while watching. Hilarious, especially after the disaster off Norway.😂

Old timers need to get with the time. Cruise pollution is not even an issue. They complain about everything.

This video made me think about a lot of things that early hadn't crossed my mind about this industry. Imagining how they would evacuate 4k + people off a listing boat that is actively sinking, would be a huge feat ! I doubt I will ever take a cruise after this. I was wondering about them. I am in my mid 50s. But this is still just too scary for me !!! I'm not a big risk taker !

Great report. The pollution from those ships terrible. When it comes to money, everything else is secondary.

We can't reduce fossil fuels with these giant fuel suckers floating around the world. Then add the pollution??? Such bad juju.

I have never been on a cruise. They honestly scare me to death ! The weirdness of laws when bad things happen. They scare me even more than flying !
