Taking a cruise “is more harmful to the environment and human health than many other forms of travel”.

So says the environmental group Friends of the Earth (FOE), which has just released The Friends of the Earth 2013 Cruise Ship Report Card, a report into cruises which concludes that cruise lines should do more to reduce their environmental footprint.

On the other hand, Huon Bush Retreats takes environmental responsibility seriously. Even after taking responsibility for half of guests transport carbon emissions, HBR achieves 3800 tonnes per year carbon positive. This means that they absorb 3800 tonnes of CO2 more than their own and half of their guests emit.
