Royal Caribbean and Make-A-Wish Partner to Support Children

Royal Caribbean International has partnered with Make-A-Wish to support their mission of granting life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.

The cruise line will contribute to fundraising through the Wishes at Sea program and provide memorable family experiences. Travelers can donate online and participate in events such as Walk for Wishes 5Ks and auctions to raise awareness and funds. Additionally, adventurers can help while enjoying their vacations on Royal Caribbean’s ships and private destinations.

“The memories we make with our families and friends on vacation are among the moments that are the most special and impactful, and for wish kids and their families, that very impact can change the course of their lives,” said Michael Bayley, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean International. “We are thrilled and humbled to partner with Make-A-Wish for years to come. In this partnership, we are in a position to do what we love – delivering memorable vacations – while making a difference in the lives of those at the heart of Royal Caribbean, families, who need it most.”
