For expedition cruise passengers and guides who want to leave nature cleaner than they found it, Clean Up Iceland is a great opportunity. The project was put on hold due to COVID-19 but will be revived this summer.

Guides and passengers from expedition cruise vessels will be given the chance to land on specific coastal areas to clean the shorelines. AECO has developed a map of areas that need cleaning and has gotten permission from authorities and landowners. All that needs to be done by the operators is to take their guests to the assigned shore, collect the waste and transport it to a port.

The clean-ups are open to anyone who wants to participate and is an opportunity to create meetings between visitors and locals.
