MS Porrima will be sailing the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic Oceans. Each ecosystem is a treasure trove of biodiversity. Thanks to this Blue Odyssey, everyone can learn about the fascinating natural wonders of the marine world. These include turtles that leave the Colombian coast to travel to Asia, and then return 15 years later to lay their eggs in the exact spot where they were born. Or the marvels of the pygmy sea horse, a resident of Tokyo Bay. We also discover the iridescent colors of the sea mouse, which never degrade in sunlight because this tiny creature has no color pigments. In each port, the Swiss MS Porrima will feature individuals who work in fishing, clean-up campaigns, and power generation. We will also celebrate seafood that respects the environment. It’s a rare opportunity to learn from the sea and imagine a sustainable future.

We need innovations to help us face the daunting task of combatting climate change. Belgian economist and entrepreneur Gunter Pauli was the first person to advocate for a “Blue Economy.”He’s been coordinating with a team of scientists to develop solutions. They’ve worked on these issues since 1994 and have more than 200 projects that demonstrate a highly efficient and sustainable economic model that mimics natural ecosystems without producing any waste. This concept will produce breakthrough innovations that address the issues of poverty, environmental pollution, and renewable energy generation. MS Porrima will serve as a floating lab for innovation. Throughout its voyage, the ship will undergo numerous transformations as it works to fuse together the world's most advanced technologies. Get a peek into amazing ideas by entrepreneurs from around the world and let’s change the future together.
