This figure represents a significant increase from 2021, when the company recorded about 65,662,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 emissions.

As of 2023, Virgin Voyages has not provided emissions data, nor have they outlined any specific climate commitments or reduction targets. The company has not cascaded emissions data from a parent organisation, and there are no reported initiatives under frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The average Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) for new ships, which is a measure of energy efficiency, was reported as 0.0104 tonne-nautical mile in 2023, reflecting the company's commitment to improving operational efficiency. However, without specific reduction targets or achievements, the overall climate strategy remains unclear.
