Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. will provide guests with cage-free eggs over the coming years.
The cruise company is committing to 100% cage-free eggs by 2022, building on an initiative that first introduced cage-free eggs into its supply chain in 2010.
“By moving to 100% cage-free eggs we are not only delivering quality food, but acting responsibly when it comes to the welfare of animals in the food system,” said Mike Jones, vice-president, Supply Chain, Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.
In recent years the cruise company has undertaken significant efforts to provide sustainably sourced food for guests including sourcing pork from gestation crate free suppliers. As a result the company also is committing to sourcing all of its pork from gestation-free crates by 2022.
Jones added, “Royal Caribbean supports the continual movement of the food service industry in this direction and remains committed to keeping the treatment of animals in consideration when supplying its fleet with food.”
