Princess Cruises celebrates 25 years of pioneering the use of shore power in Juneau, Alaska, allowing cruise ships to connect to the local hydroelectric grid and shut down engines while docked. This initiative, started in 2001 in partnership with the City of Juneau and Alaska Electric Light & Power, has significantly reduced emissions, improved air quality, and inspired 41 ports worldwide to adopt similar technology. Princess Cruises continues to invest in sustainable technologies to support environmental preservation and community benefits in Alaska and beyond. The company remains committed to expanding shore power use as part of the cruise industry's goal to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
