Tuesday, August 20, 2024 Norwegian Cruise Line, a trailblazer in global cruising, is partnering with eco-friendly serveware specialist Drinique to launch an innovative collection of reusable bento box-style serveware crafted from 50% certified recycled materials. This new line offers a sleek, space-saving solution for guests to savor their in-room breakfast while reducing the bulk of traditional porcelain plates and eliminating the use of plastic cling wrap. Drinique’s bento box-style serveware is made with Eastman TritanTM Renew, a durable plastic powered by Eastman’s innovative molecular recycling technology which sources hard-to-recycle waste to keep it out of landfills.
The reusable serveware is being introduced aboard Norwegian Prima® and Norwegian Viva® first and will be rolled out across NCL’s entire 19-ship fleet before the end of 2024. “We are excited to help companies like NCL drive change to meet their environmental goals,” said Andrew Elliott , president of Drinique. “The durability of Tritan Renew helps our partners innovate while providing guests with an effortless dining experience and reducing single-use plastic waste.
” This initiative exemplifies Norwegian Cruise Line’s dedication to making a meaningful difference through its worldwide sustainability initiative, Sail & SustainTM. “As part of our commitment to reduce single-use plastic onboard, we continuously search for opportunities to implement environmentally friendly practices, while keeping our mission of delivering more experiences so our guests can vacation better with us top of mind,” said Mark Kansley , senior vice president of Hotel Operations at Norwegian Cruise Line. “We’re excited to continue to work with Drinique to introduce these reusable solutions across our fleet.
