PROTECTING FLORA AND FAUNA
Bird safe lighting mode is a proprietary lighting
mode developed in partnership with The Cornell Lab
of Ornithology, to deter birds from being attracted
to the onboard lights. We advocated for and
implemented 'Whale Safe Speeds' in geofenced areas
of Antarctica to provide better viewing opportunities
and maintain whale safety. Our strict biosecurity
measures protect the native flora and fauna to
which we sail. Our special boot washing machines
ensure we do not contaminate vulnerable remote
environments with non-native flora or pathogens,
or transplant foreign organisms to local flora.
"We are now perfecting
expedition voyages and
offering curious travellers
the opportunity to visit
the world's most pristine
destinations in the most
responsible way possible."
