Below is a listing of the workout equipment and spa services available on Holland America Line's ships. For over five years we have operated a complete recycling program allowing us to avoid having to dispose of glass, aluminum, paper, batteries, wood, and cardboard. We use recycled paper for all onboard printed materials. Even cooking and other waste oil is recycled for burning with regular fuel. Our ships are all equipped with recorder and monitoring devices that enable us to instantly know if water discharge or smoke emission criteria are exceeded.
Every crew member is required to go through environmental training prior to serving on our vessels.
Every aspect of our operations has been scrutinized to find recyclable alternatives to plastic. We have added special video presentations for passengers to ensure their sensitivity to the special environmental conditions that exist at sea. To maintain our environmental program, we subject all our ships to rigorous annual environmental audits by our own personnel and by outside experts. Hazardous and chemical wastes on our ships are maintained using a computerized tracking system. Paint waste is almost completely eliminated by use of distillers.
