We’re Keeping it ‘Green’
There May be Four Seasons in Niagara, but Hornblower Niagara Cruises keeps it ‘Green’ year round.
Hornblower Niagara Cruises is committed to respecting our planet through a number of eco-friendly practices, including: preventing pollution, reducing water, conserving energy, and applying alternative energy technologies.
Whether it is the building of the boats, to the 100% corn-based compostable packaging used for food and beverage, to the number of recycling bins located on and off-board board the vessels; we are keeping it green to produce a healthier and cleaner experience for all of our guests and visitors.
Catamarans
Oh the great outdoors! Experience fresh air and the work of Mother Nature on our 700-passenger state-of-the-art built catamarans. To practice what we preach, all of Hornblower fleets and vessels are built and designed to operate in the greenest of standards by replacing old engines with new ultra- efficient engines, complying with ETA Tier 2 Clean Standards, and the proper usage of biodiesel and carbon offset program for select cruises.
