Our problems are interconnected. So are the solutions. There is no one single way to 'save the planet'. From marching side by side on the halls of power to replanting a forest, we thrive when we cooperate. Everyday people can band together and challenge even the world’s most powerful forces.
“It’s the way things are” is just a story that people tell themselves. The first step to a better world is to open our minds to the unthinkable, the impossible. The problems we face are massive. Our dreams are bigger. They have to be.
Some people look at a forest, and all they see is lumber. But there are millions more who see beauty; a home, a heritage, a future. Around the globe, we are standing up for our communities, and we are holding governments and corporations to account. Whether on the streets or at the ballot box, we hold the real power when we work together.
The Greenpeace fleet of ships is a unique asset in the battle to save planet Earth and protect the global commons. Our ships are used at the forefront of Greenpeace campaigning, often sailing to remote areas to bear witness and take action against environmental destruction.
This is where you come in. If you want a green and just world, we’ll march alongside you. If you’ve got ideas for how to get there, we want to learn from you. Let’s dream together, plan together and act together.
Imagine a world where forests flourish and oceans are full of life. Where energy is as clean as a mountain stream. Where everyone has security, dignity and joy. We can’t build this future alone, but we can build it together.
For nearly 50 years, Greenpeace has been sailing the world's oceans protecting our planet and fighting for environmental justice. Learn more about our fleet.

See what we stand for
In 1971, our founders set sail to an island in the Arctic. Their mission? To stop a nuclear bomb. It was a journey that would spark a movement and make history.
