Crew members of cruise ship cleaned the beach
31 crew members of the ‘Vasco da Gama’ were engaged in a cleaning action on Maiata beach, in Porto da Cruz, on May 6, 2023. This was an initiative of the largest Portuguese cruise ship owner, Mystic Cruises, with Blandy Shipping, within the scope of the ‘Vasco da Gama – Together for a better world’ campaign. The initiative, which also has the collaboration of the Parish Council of Porto da Cruz, aimed at environmental protection and better quality for all visitors to that beach. The ship is completing a trip around the world, lasting 183 days and intends to carry out various actions of this nature in the ports it passes through, improving the environment and in order to “leave its footprint in building a sustainable future”.
