GUESTS aboard Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Spirit last month visited the Bega Valley, where they were able to “Take 3 for the Sea” as part of a complimentary beach clean-up shore excursion (CW 12 Dec 2022).
Spirit’s call at the Port of Eden on 23 Dec saw travellers invited to support Norwegian’s partner organisation Take 3 for the Sea and its ambitious aim to remove 50 million pieces of plastic from the environment by 2025.
Guests from Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada (pictured) rolled up their sleeves to remove five kilograms of trash from Eden’s beachfront, alongside Spirit’s environment team, Nicolae Marian Iacob and Manuel Rayco, while learning about the hidden impact of plastic pollution on oceans and wildlife.
Eden was selected as the perfect location to launch this special shore excursion, as it allowed guests an opportunity to contribute to the town’s ongoing rejuvenation as a tourism and cruise destination following the impact of the bushfires and COVID-19.
“We’re thrilled to expand our partnership with Take 3 for the Sea and bring this shore excursion to life in an inspiring first for NCL,” the cruise line’s Vice President & Managing Director APAC Ben Angell said.
“We are committed to driving a positive impact in society and the environment, and we’re grateful for the incredible support we’ve received from the community in Eden, and the dedication of our partners at Take 3 for the Sea.
“This has been a milestone moment for our brand, and something we look forward to expanding in the future.”
