Our broad vision is
to harness this
major capital asset
for… -
…for the benefit and better-
ment of all stakeholders,
including investors and
strategic partners, the
environment, the American
people and the American
economy, our American
officers, crew and hotel staff,
the tourism and hospitality
industries, our guests, and
the U.S. ports and coastal
communities visited by the
city-ship year-round.It is planned that a portion of
the annual profits of the ship
will be steered to World City
Foundation and other national
and international philanthropic
organizations and causes to
support environmental protection
(particularly of the oceans and
other marine environments),
sustainable development,
corporate social responsibility,
education, and initiatives aimed
at international understanding
and cooperation among nations,
particularly between developed
and developing nations.Our vision also includes
maximization of the city-ship's
unique environment as a
cross-cultural forum and global
meeting place — to bring
together the best ideas, talents
and institutions and to develop
new and more effective ways
of looking at, thinking about,
and responding constructively to
global issues and challenges.
