AURORA against its type
Built in 2000, it is 10 years older than the median cruise ship on this register, which was built in 2010 (195 vessels with a known build year). At 76,152 gross tonnage it is larger than 50% of the other 177 cruise ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 24 cruise ships here under the Bermuda flag, 11.9% of the 202 on the register.

Its 61,975 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.0 times the median of 31,269 t among the 200 cruise ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 907.9 kg CO₂, 11% above the type median of 821.3 kg. It logged 4,648 hours at sea against a median of 3,133 hours for its type that year. 9.9% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for cruise ships was 15.1%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (104,981 t) and the lowest 2020 (11,159 t). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 41.0% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 13.0% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 3.6%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
