In April, the Globus family of brands unveiled the Lighthouse Project: An illuminating initiative created to help travelers come together to reduce our footprint and give generously for the globe’s greater good. Focused on getting even more rooted in its mission to create a culture of care and sustainability, the Lighthouse Project is branching out with a new partnership with Trees4Travel.

As part of this new Trees4Travel partnership, Avalon Waterways will offset the carbon footprint of every guest’s cruise experience in 2022 by donating tens of thousands of trees to Trees4Travel. Through this initiative, the company is placing an emphasis on “Planet” – one of three (3) important pillars representing the Lighthouse Project.

The Globus family of brands Lighthouse Project is focused on three, give-back categories:

• Planet: The Globus family of brands makes every effort to conserve and preserve in each destination visited. To protect waterways and wildlife and shine a light on organizations that do the same
• People: The Globus family of brands is dedicated to protecting, respecting and supporting the extraordinary communities of the world as well as improving the individual lives within them. The measure of success? – The megawatt smiles we see along the way
• Places: The parks, palaces, museums and monuments we enjoy today are the result of previous generations passionately committed to preservation. By way of the Lighthouse Project, the Globus family of brands aims to pay it forward so that future generations can enjoy the same glorious places to relax, renew and reflect

In addition to donating trees to automatically offset all Avalon Waterways’ cruises, those traveling with Globus, Cosmos or Monograms will also have the opportunity to quickly, easily and impactfully offset their flights and vacations through Trees4Travel via URLs available on each brand’s Web pages. The Globus family of brands is also working with the non-profit organization to offset office facility emissions and staff travel.

According to Trees4Travel, the first 10 years of each tree’s life will supplement travel while the next 140 years of the lifespan of each tree will simply benefit the Earth.

And, while the Globus family of brands is working with Trees4Travel in its offsetting efforts, the company is also committed to creating an environmentally friendly culture across the globe.
