Ship Tours
Greenpeace ships are tools for investigation, education, and action. They are sailing to places impacted by environmental harm, supporting frontline communities, and opening decks to the public to learn, connect, and get involved.
From exposing ocean pollution to sparking conversations at port, ship tours turn global issues into shared local moments.
What Are Ship Tours?
Ship tours are when our iconic Greenpeace ships dock at ports around the world and open their decks to the public. It’s a rare chance to come aboard, meet the crew, and explore how we investigate environmental injustice. Here’s what you’ll typically find when a Greenpeace ship is in port:
Open ship days
Explore the ship’s inner workings through guided tours, interactive exhibits, and conversations with our crew. Get a glimpse of life on board and what it takes to sail for the planet.
Campaign spotlights
The ship travels with purpose. Each stop highlights a pressing local or regional environmental issue, from building public awareness to deepening understanding of climate issues and environmental justice.
Movement building
We host talks and community gatherings onboard and onshore, connecting people, movements, and allies for stronger collective action.
Past Highlight
In March 2023, the Rainbow Warrior Ship returned to Malaysian waters, docking at Port Klang to spotlight urgent environmental injustices. From calling for a long-overdue Climate Change Act to exposing air pollution, deforestation, and plastic waste, the ship brought environmental justice to the forefront.
