The orange economy refers to the creative economy, or the production of goods and services that are based on intellectual property, technology, and cultural inspiration. Some examples of the orange economy are arts, media, design, software, and tourism. The color orange symbolizes creativity and innovation. River cruises are classed as part of the orange economy. Sustainable river cruises, such as using solar or hydrogen powered boats, ferries or ships, is one of the United Nations agendas, and of course, being on water; blue growth.
Number one on our list of the most famous rivers in Europe is none other than the Seine. Without the Seine, there would be no Paris because the Seine was a trading route connecting the English Channel to Dijon for trade. The little riverside village of “Parisii” grew because of this trading route to become the largest city in the world by the 12th century.
The river Seine is a 777-kilometre-long (483 mi) river in northern France. Its drainage basin is in the Paris Basin (a geological relative lowland) covering most of northern France. It rises at Source-Seine, 30 kilometres (19 mi) northwest of Dijon in northeastern France in the Langres plateau, flowing through Paris and into the English Channel at Le Havre (and Honfleur on the left bank). It is navigable by ocean-going vessels as far as Rouen, 120 kilometres (75 mi) from the sea. Over 60 percent of its length, as far as Burgundy, is negotiable by large barges and most tour boats, and nearly its whole length is available for recreational boating; excursion boats offer sightseeing tours of the river banks in the capital city, Paris.

All our oceans, seas and rivers are now extremely polluted. This is partly to do with our obsession with single use plastic, and partly to do with our reliance on fossil fuels for marine transport, mostly subsidized, in denial of alternative renewables like solar and green hydrogen, or green methanol clean energy.

The
Elizabeth Swann, is a Queen of the Nile themed ocean and river
cruiser, that is powered by solar panels and hydrogen. Solar
assistance is not needed if using green hydrogen, provided
there is sufficient bunkering on the rivers, or at ports, etc.
Imagine cruising the river Po, or any of the most
beautiful European rivers, in a ferry based on similar
ecological designs.
