Our mission is to make life better for those less fortunate by enhancing fundraising for charities and non-profit organizations. Cruise For-A Cause is a unique fundraiser for charities. We organize cruise vacations to help non-profits achieve their goals and mission while impacting the community. Our focal point is to help non-profit organizations raise much needed funds as a collaborative effort.

This creative and innovative program was designed to help charities reward their donors, volunteers, and sponsors concurrently, creating much needed funds for non-profit organizations. Our desire is that all cruisers experience vacation memories of a life-time! Every person aboard will have the opportunity to relax and/or have fun, strengthen families, build new relationships in conjunction with supporting worthy charitable organizations.

We will provide donations to support qualified charity partners. Charity partners must have a minimum of 25 persons to qualify for donations. A portion of the cruise fare per person will be donated to the charity group and based upon stateroom category.

In summary, our true reward comes from assisting charities to fulfill their important missions. And simultaneously improve the quality of life of socially and economically disadvantaged persons in the community through relationship building. There is no greater honor and privilege than serving others!

Our Commitment

Over the past decade we have engaged and empowered others to participate in extra special philanthropic events. We have altruistically raised thousands of dollars for non-profit organizations all over the country. Our team is dedicated to assisting you in fulfilling the mission of your organization and community. We are also very serious about the success of your fundraiser.

Plane Accommodations

A Travel Professional can take care of your round-trip flight arrangements. Flight arrangements can be made starting May 21, 2017.

Strongly Recommended Arrival & Departure Times

  • Arrival Time: Saturday, April 21, 2018, no later that 12:00 noon
  • Departure Time: Saturday, April 28, 2018, after 11:30 a.m.

Buddy passes and/or stand-by flights are not recommended for same day arrivals.

The benefit of booking your plane fare through your travel professional is the cruise line and airlines are linked together with your cruise itinerary. Alternative arrangements can be made if there are delays. In the event the available flights do not arrive in time for the ship’s departure, guests will be flown to the next port of call and the cruise-line will arrange hotel and/or ground transportation services at no expense. In other words, we want to take the worry out of air travel, to ensure guests can enjoy a memorable vacation.

Do I need a passport?

Passports are highly recommended. Visit www.travel.state.gov.

Having a passport will enable guests to fly from the U.S. to a foreign port in the event of a missed and/or scheduled embarkation or to fly back to the U.S. if they need to disembark the ship mid-cruise due to an emergency.

ALL guests need proper proof of citizenship in order to travel and failure to present a valid document at check in will result in denied boarding and no refund will be issued. It is recommended that passports be ordered at least 6 months prior to departure.

Raise funds for your nonprofit

Nonprofits may build sustainability for their organizations while rewarding their members and contributors at the same time. Here are some of the basics:

  • Cruise fundraiser donations may range from $500 to $150,000
  • Cruise sponsorship donations (based upon sponsor levels)
  • Non-profit organizations should plan to have a minimum of 25 persons to qualify for donations

Potential Donations for Nonprofits

Example

  • Your Group Selects 200 Value Style Inside Cabins.
  • Each cabin will contribute $50. 200 x 50 = $10,000 Donation
  • The more participants that cruise the larger the donation

Note: Love Offerings and Donation Checks to non-profit organizations are based upon the number of paid participants and room selections. Checks will be presented within 30-45 days of the return date of the cruise ship.
