Cruise Saudi, the Public Investment Fund-owned cruise development entity of Saudi Arabia, has achieved Travelife <\/a>Partner Status, a globally recognized sustainability certification for tourism organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The certification follows an independent assessment covering key sustainability areas, including environmental management, community engagement, and responsible business practices.

\u201cAchieving Travelife Partner Status is an important milestone for Cruise Saudi and reaffirms our commitment to developing a responsible and sustainable cruise sector in the Kingdom. As we continue to welcome international cruise lines and guests, sustainability remains central to how we design and grow our destinations in partnership with local communities,\u201d said Lars Clasen, CEO of Cruise Saudi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naut Kusters, Founder and Manager of Travelife for Tour Operators, said: \u201cI am delighted to see sustainability gaining momentum within the tour operator sector. Cruise Saudi\u2019s Partner award will inspire other companies in Saudi Arabia to follow the same path.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cruise Saudi\u2019s initiatives include the use of electric and hybrid vehicles for shore transfers, environmentally responsible excursion programs in Red Sea destinations, engagement of local guides and businesses, inclusive tour design, responsible sourcing practices, and sustainability training for staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
