May 26, 2021

Online Cruise Agency Works Towards Environmental Sustainability with Each Cruise Booked

New York, NY — CruiseDirect, a leading online travel company dedicated to providing customers with unbeatable cruise deals, has partnered with One Tree Planted, a non-profit organization focused on global reforestation, to plant a tree for every passenger who sails with CruiseDirect.  The initiative will begin on World Environment Day (June 5).  Commitment to environmental sustainability is becoming one of CruiseDirect’s core values, along with award-winning customer service and best price guarantees.

“Trees are magical; they help create habitats for biodiversity while filtering and cleaning our water and the air we breathe.  To help protect our environment for present and future cruisers, we’re extremely proud to partner with One Tree Planted to make our world greener and lusher,” said CruiseDirect founder John Maguire. “Now customers can feel confident that they’ve scored the best deal on the perfect cruise, while also knowing they’ve done something for the health of the earth and all their favorite travel destinations.”
