Making a world of difference

Making the travel we love sustainable is one of our biggest challenges. 

  1. Good goodie bags

    Making our amenity kits out of paper products has saved 9.45 tonnes of plastic a year - that's the same as 63,336 apples!

  2. It's a wrap!

    We've replaced plastic headphone wrapping with paper charity donation envelopes, saving 16 tonnes of plastic a year

  3. Don't bottle it

    We've removed 15.8 millions tonnes of single use plastic water and wine bottles annually in favour of recyclable cans and multi-pour bottles

  4. Cardboard cut outs

    Our new Economy pressed board cutlery removes the single-use plastic weight equivalent to 18 jet engines a year

  1. A different cloth

    Our famous Vivienne Westwood uniform is made from a yarn that's composed of 25% recycled plastic bottles

  2. Stirring up change

    Swapping our plastic stirrers with sustainable bamboo ones saved 6.5 tonnes of single-use plastic

  3. Drinks all round

    All the plastic cups that we use to serve drinks onboard are now made with 95% recycled material. Cheers to that!

  4. Box fresh

    Our new Economy hot meal container is made from the plant material that's left after the extraction of juice from sugar cane. Sweet!
