An important new market for us
We are proud to have successfully expanded our client portfolio to include cruise ships, relatively new, yet strategically important market for us. Over the years, we have worked step by step to understand the unique requirements of this industry, and today, we provide cruise operators with innovative and sustainable solutions.
Why Bag-in-Box works for cruise ships
Bag-in-Box (BiB) packaging offers a sustainable alternative to bottled and canned beverages. A single BiB produces up to 180 liters of final drink, with each pallet yielding nearly 13,000 liters. Compared to other traditional packaging, BiB generates far less waste, almost all of which is fully recyclable. Our post-mix dispensers supplied free of charge, help eliminate single-use plastics, ensure portion control, reduce water and energy consumption, and minimize storage and logistical burdens. The concentrated beverage system also cuts transport emissions and supply chain costs, which is crucial for global cruise operations.
Custom solutions for cruise operations
With our dedicated R&D department, we have developed products specifically for cruise operations. These solutions are designed to improve service efficiency, enhance beverage presentation, and meet the high expectations of passengers and crew alike.
Reliable supply across Europe
Supply logistics are never an issue thanks to our network of local offices and subsidiaries across Europe. If a cruise ship requires a new shipment while at sea, we can arrange delivery at the next port. Whether you dock in Barcelona, Athens, Rotterdam, Split, Koper or anywhere else in Europe, we can ensure rapid supply every time.
Verified sustainability
Committed to verified sustainability, Nektar Natura submits its performance for assessment by CDP, EcoVadis, and GreenSign, and is currently in the process of obtaining SBTi validation. With a proven track record in waste reduction, efficiency, and sustainable practices, we help cruise operators reach their sustainability goals while maintaining guest experience. Our verified, eco-friendly post-mix drinks set a new standard for sustainability at sea.
Finalist for Most Sustainable Product
Our efforts were recognized when we became a finalist for the Most Sustainable F&B Product at the F&B@Sea Awards 2025, highlighting our environmentally responsible post-mix beverage solutions. By reducing waste, optimizing efficiency, and enhancing the guest experience, we continue to set new standards for sustainable practices at sea.
