📣 GEEK READ AHEAD 😁🚢
We partner with MSC for their amazing rates, yes… However, this right here is the reason that we feel this cruise line will make the biggest strides in the industry.
MSC is forever putting their energy, and finances, into the environmental impact on our oceans. This far outweighs the cost factor- in our humble opinion.

****************************************************
MSC CRUISES TO REDUCE FLEETWIDE EMISSIONS BY UP TO 15 PER CENT WITH NEW ITINERARY PLANNING OPTIMISATION TOOL

will see its fleet of ships’ emissions reduced by up to 15 per cent in 2026 thanks to the introduction of a new itinerary planning optimisation tool called OptiCruise.

The line has developed a new mathematical model with OPTIMeasy, a research company affiliated to the University of Genoa, that comprehensively examined numerous factors that influence the planning of each of MSC Cruises’ itineraries to achieve the optimum level of efficiency for a sailing while maintaining or enhancing guest satisfaction.

Voyage planning within the global cruise industry has traditionally been heavily weighted towards the attractiveness of ship destinations for potential holidaymakers.

OptiCruise broadens the scope substantially to include numerous other aspects which influence an itinerary’s efficiency, including sequencing of the port calls, departure and arrival times at ports, a ship’s speed, the appeal and attractiveness of destinations for a holidaymaker, shore excursions, and operational costs such as fuel, port charges and food provisions.

The tool’s algorithms use all of the information to identify optimised itineraries, which continue to appeal for guests, while allowing for energy efficiency.

Cruise ship itinerary planning typically takes place two years before a sailing and OptiCruise’s benefits will be evidenced in 2026 when MSC Cruises’ fleet will number 24 ships.

was chosen to evaluate the prototype technology over a 12-month period as the ship sailed between 17 ports in the Mediterranean Sea.

MSC Cruises’ strategy to achieve net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 for its marine operations is focused on three key areas - ship and engine technology, operational efficiency and renewable fuels. OptiCruise comes under the operational efficiency focus with the cruise line making greater use of digitalisation to drive efficiencies in energy consumption.

Michele Francioni, Chief Energy Transition Officer, MSC Cruises, said, “We have identified and developed this new technology to optimise the decision-making process of itinerary planning with the aim to further reduce emissions across our fleet from 2026.

“The OPTIMeasy team calculates that the average fuel savings made, and emissions reduced by using OptiCruise are in the range of 10-15 per cent which is a significant step forward in our ambition to achieve our net zero greenhouse gas emissions target by 2050 for our marine operations.”

OptiCruise was developed as part of the European Union’s funded Project CHEK, that was established to investigate and trial several low-carbon shipping opportunities including energy technologies and innovative ship designs.

The mathematical model was accepted for development by Project CHEK as it was recognised as a factor that could substantially reduce emissions, not just for MSC Cruises but across the entire cruise industry.

The CHEK Project is part of the EU’s Horizon research and innovation programme and led by the University of Vaasa in Finland. The consortium includes, as well as MSC Cruises, the World Maritime University, Wärtsilä, Cargill and Lloyds Register, among others.

An amazing itinerary!

Flight not included- sailing is within final payment- balance will be due at booking.

Includes all taxes and fees.

A once in a lifetime itinerary… TWENTY DAYS… The perfect blend of fire 🔥 and Ice!🧊

Flight included in price is from Halifax to Vancouver, then from Honolulu back to Halifax. Can be adjusted to other airports.

I have only EIGHT cabins at this rate- the balcony cabins are DOUBLE… so, although inside may not sound appealing- this is an absolute exception. You’ll have to go out on deck for all the action- but, it’s almost $5000 less.

Please send your email for more information.

VERY LIMITED QUANTITY-

This question comes in waves 🌊 , and it’s been asked a lot as of late, so…. Let’s talk about it!

In the early days I decided full transparency was going to be my philosophy… 100%. And, with each travel professional who has come aboard, that has been their upmost priority as well.

No matter if you are booking with Ashley or myself on the East Coast, or with Dan or Chad on the West Coast, our commitment to honest practices ALWAYS remains the same.

📌We always include all taxes and port fees.

📌We always state if flight is included, and the price always includes all taxes associated.

📌We always state if beverages are included- and if they are, we always include the service fees associated.

We also CHOOSE to NOT CHARGE service fees for booking Cruise vacations. When you book with East Coast Cruisers, or West Coast Cruisers, you are booking DIRECTLY with the cruise line. We hold NO MONEY.

🇨🇦 We always post in Canadian dollars, unless it clearly states USD.

The only fee NOT included, unless they are being offered on a promotion by the cruise line, is Daily Gratitude. These are charged per day, after boarding the ship. WHY? Because if you have a problem with service it can be addressed before the next day payment is charged to your account. This is a cruise line policy, and we think it’s great. (Although you can choose to pay in advance if you wish)

I hope this helps clarify our best practices. Please, ask any questions at any time. Open and honest communication is always appreciated.

As always,
wishing you smooth sailing!
Christina Hollett
