Will existing Sustainable Travel International (STI) STEP verified tour operators receive special recognition in RCL’s shore excursion marketing program?

Yes.  All tours operated by existing STI STEP verified tour operators will be distinguished as “sustainable” tours in our shore excursion marketing program until the end of 2019. Beginning in 2020, the “sustainable” designation will be only available for the tours operated by tour operators that have taken the next step in the program to become GSTC Certified by 2020.
