NCC Initiatives: Accessibility, Environmental and Philanthropy

Beyond offering harbor tours and private events, Newport Classic Cruises aims to be an industry leader through social, environmental, and philanthropic contributions. We annually review and improve our best practices to minimize our impact on the environment, cultivate inclusion in our industry, and enhance the quality of life for our community.

Accessibility, in all its meanings, is a priority for Newport Classic Cruises. In addressing access to the waterfront, the ability to enjoy sailing, or just experiencing our great town from the water; we support and adopt technologies and practices to improve access for all peoples to enjoy the programming that we offer.

As sailors by trade, we witness first-hand the pollutants in our waterways, sea level rise, and the increase in average daily temperatures occurring through climate change.  At Newport Classic Cruises, we review and revise our operating procedures annually to cut our carbon emissions, reduce or eliminate our use of single-use plastics, and make choices that reflect these values.

Community Focus

We collaborate with and provide fundraising opportunities for a number of organizations aligned with our vision to improve our industry and our community. We regularly host young adults from several organizations for sailing opportunities. We maintain a diverse roster of captains and crew by keeping our doors open to all members of our community and we regularly promote internally.
