i disagree, it is actually super optimized, food delivery, food cooking, waste management and ton of other stuff i wonder if a nuclear proposed ship would be a solution to make it carbon neutral in the future

  i was talking about the life on the ship, not the carbon footprint of the ship in a city, each individuals uses their car to go buy food, then come back home and use car to go do their other activities, then cook things at home, wasting a ton of resources and producing ton of useless waste something that doesn't happen if you are living on a ship where everything is optimized for the group hence why i then mention if using nuclear propulsion would help fix the latter problem, like submarines

There are, what, maybe a few thousand people who do an Antarctic cruise every year? The EU has a population of about 450 million. The climate does not care one bit about per capita emissions, only total emissions.
