Per nautical mile it emitted 609.3 kg CO₂, 26% below the type median of 821.3 kg. It logged 4,374 hours at sea against a median of 3,133 hours for its type that year. 26.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for cruise ships was 15.1%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (44,371 t) and the lowest 2021 (15,479 t). Of the 8 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 6.2% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 1.8% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 0.1%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
