Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) is partnering with sustainable serveware provider Drinique to enhance its in-room breakfast service with eco-friendly bento box-style serveware, according to a press release.

Made from 50 percent certified recycled materials and Eastman Tritan Renew, the new serveware offers a durable alternative to traditional porcelain plates, reducing the need for plastic cling wrap and supporting sustainability, the company said.

“As part of our commitment to reduce the use of single plastic on board, we continuously search for opportunities to implement new environmentally friendly practices, while keeping our mission of delivering more experiences so our guests can vacation better with us top of mind,” said Mark Kansley, senior vice president of hotel operations at Norwegian Cruise Line.

“We’re excited to continue to work with Drinique to introduce these new reusable bento boxes across our fleet and continue doing our part to protect and preserve the environment.” 

Drinique’s serveware will debut on the Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva and will be introduced across the fleet by the end of the year.

“We are excited to help companies like NCL drive change to meet their environmental goals,” said Andrew Elliott, president of Drinique. “By leveraging the sustainability and durability of Tritan Renew, we aim to help our partners innovate and continue to provide guests with an effortless dining experience while reducing single-use plastic waste across the globe.”
