RESPECTING THE PLACES WE VISIT: MSC Protectours

What are Protectours

We are committed to preserving a beautiful world for future generations to enjoy. By focusing on environmental sustainability, PROTECTOURS helps to achieve to this vital goal. All tours involve activities with low environmental impact – like walking, cycling, or kayaking – while others make a direct contribution to the environment, for example, tree planting or beach cleaning. So, you can enjoy original insights into the natural world while preserving its beauty and helping to ensure a greener future!

MSC Cruises and the environment

The oceans and seas have always been the basis of MSC Cruises and we feel a deep responsibility to preserve and protect them. We care for the environment in which we operate, the guests who sail with us, the people who work with us, the cities we call, and the communities we visit. Our commitment to the environments extends to our onshore activities too. PROTECTOURS is not only a way to offer our guests a variety of shore excursions with less impact, but also a means of encouraging our onshore partners to develop tours that pay ever more attention to environmental sustainability.

Just one example is that no single-use plastic or other items are accepted on these tours.
