It's touted to be the first carbon-neutral cruise destination in the world
Earlier this week, cruise line Royal Caribbean announced its plans to build a sustainable private island in the South Pacific.
According to the announcement, the island, located in Vanuatu, will be called “Perfect Day at Lelepa” and will be built with features that will “safeguard the island’s ecosystems,” and will be the first carbon-neutral cruise destination in the world.

“We believe our destinations should be sustainably designed,” Royal Caribbean International President and CEO Michael Bayley said in a statement. “That idea goes beyond simply protecting the ecological features of Lelepa and includes showing respect for the people and traditions that make this a special place.”
