Through a new partnership with Trees4Travel, Maritime Travel will provide its travelling customers with the opportunity to rebalance their carbon footprint.

Using a link on the Maritime Travel website, customers are now able to calculate the carbon impact of their trip and purchase trees to help compensate their travel. Maritime Travel will also plant an additional tree for every tree planted by their customers.

Trees4Travel says it helps in the fight against climate change by growing trees in developing countries and helping to restore eco-systems and biodiversity while supporting local communities through employment.

“This partnership fits in very well with our overall sustainability strategy, which includes not only our own internal practices, but also offering customers options such as carbon-neutral adventure travel, and hybrid-electric-powered expedition cruising,” said Blair Jerrett, Maritime Travel’s Senior Director of Marketing.

“Our agents are excited by this partnership and to be able to offer this opportunity to their clients.”

Maritime Travel say its collaboration with Trees4Travel is part of a larger effort to combat climate change, offering customers the chance to travel the world lightly, while learning about its ecology, gaining an appreciation for local cultures, and supporting local communities.
