This figure includes about 4,820,278,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which primarily arise from direct operations, and approximately 14,490,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, related to purchased electricity.

The absence of defined reduction goals indicates a need for further commitment to climate action within the cruise industry context. Overall, Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd's emissions data reflects significant operational impacts, and while the company has made strides in transparency, the lack of ambitious climate commitments highlights an area for potential improvement in their sustainability strategy.
