Aquila Tours Achieves Level 4 Recognition Through GreenStep’s Sustainable Tourism Pathway

Aquila Tours, a division of Aquila Center for Cruise Excellence, has achieved Level 4 recognition through GreenStep’s Sustainable Tourism Pathway after completing a comprehensive assessment of its sustainability practices against internationally recognized criteria.

The GreenStep Sustainable Tourism Pathway measures businesses against the GreenStep Sustainable Tourism Standard, a GSTC-Recognized Standard, evaluating performance across four pillars: management, social and economic impacts, natural and cultural stewardship and environmental responsibility.

“Achieving Level 4 recognition is an important milestone for our team and reflects the work we’ve put into strengthening sustainability across every aspect of our business,” said Ambra Attus, Aquila’s Director of Impact, Growth and Development. “While we’re proud, we also know sustainability is a continuous journey. This assessment shows us exactly where we’re thriving and where we can keep improving for the benefit of our guests, our partners, our employees and the communities where we operate.”

GreenStep’s assessment recognizes businesses based on verified performance and provides a roadmap for continued progress. As part of the process, Aquila Tours underwent an independent review of its business practices, resulting in an action plan that will guide future sustainability initiatives.

Recognizing that sustainability is about more than environmental responsibility, Aquila Tours supports local communities, honors cultural heritage, and creates meaningful cruise experiences that foster lasting, positive impact.
