Sustainability

 

CruiseMap is more than a beautiful memory — it is a consciously produced product. At every stage of production, we make decisions that combine quality, longevity, and responsibility.

 

🌿  Our Contribution to More Sustainable Production

 

🌱	Green Energy Our servers run on 100% renewable energy from certified green electricity sources.
🇩🇪	Produced in Germany Every CruiseMap is produced exclusively in Germany — by certified photo lab Foto Thun, a family business since 1956.
📄	Chlorine-Free Paper We print on chlorine-free bleached premium paper — gentle on the environment and water quality.
🚚	Climate-Neutral Shipping We work with shipping partners (DHL / DPD) who offer climate-neutral delivery options.
🏭	Short Supply Chains Directly from the German lab to you — no long transport routes, no intermediaries.
♻️	Built to Last A CruiseMap is not a disposable product. Designed for decades — brilliant colours that never fade.

 

🏆  Our Print Partner: Foto Thun — Quality Since 1956

 

We have made a conscious choice to work with Foto Thun as our exclusive print partner — not because of the lowest price, but because of the highest quality and German production standards.

 

•     Museum-grade print quality – razor sharp, colour-stable, rich in detail

•     Brilliant, long-lasting colours – engineered to last for decades without fading

•     Premium materials – high-quality paper, sturdy frames, perfect finish

•     Craftsmanship since 1956 – a German family business with a long tradition

•     Direct from the lab – no intermediaries, maximum quality control

•     Data security made in Germany – your image data never leaves the facility

•     Fast production – orders placed on business days are often dispatched the same day

•     Satisfaction guarantee – personal support if anything is ever less than perfect

 

Sustainability for us means not just being environmentally conscious — it means creating something so well-made that it lasts for decades, rather than disappearing into a drawer after a year. — Leo Seidl, Founder of CruiseMap
