Shore power - the technology that lets cruise ships to plug into land-based electricity at port, was first used by a cruise ship in 2001. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Did you guess which one? ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​If you said Princess Cruises, you're right! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Princess dramatically reduced their emissions by pioneering this technology in Juneau almost 25 years ago. Now, many ports are capable of this game-changing technology. Some ports - like Seattle and PortMiami - are even rolling out shore power requirements. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​We love to see cruise lines making strides toward greener vacationing! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​#cruise #cruising @princesscruises #princesscruise
