The Back Story . . .
Having promoted cruising for more than 38 years, Landry & Kling co-founder Joyce Landry feels that she has inadvertently contributed to the industry’s environmental impact. Joyce supported the cruise industry during its history as a polluter of the oceans. Today, she applauds every new technology and initiative put into place to reverse that trend. Joyce’s private role as an environmentalist, animal activist, and defender of climate change policies has often conflicted with her support of the cruise industry. She now seeks to align personal values with company culture through SustainableShips.com.
