"Icon of the Seas: Environmental Concerns and Epic Features of the World's Largest Cruise Ship"
TL;DR Summary
Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas, the world's largest cruise ship, embarked on its maiden voyage from Miami, Florida, sparking environmental concerns due to its use of liquified natural gas (LNG) which emits high levels of methane. Despite being built to run on a cleaner fuel, concerns have been raised about the ship's environmental impact, with experts warning that LNG-fueled ships emit over 120% more life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions than marine gas oil. The launch of the massive vessel has reignited discussions about the environmental impact of cruise tourism amidst surging travel demand.
