Royal Caribbean International and Make-A-Wish are coming together to support the non-profit's mission of creating life-changing wishes for children that inspire hope and strength among wish kids and their families.
With its ‘Wishes at Sea’ program, RCI says it aims to contribute to the non-profit's efforts with both fundraising and in-kind donations of its most impactful asset – memorable family experiences.
In addition to making donations online, RCI guests will soon be able to also raise awareness and funds while making memories on their vacations across the cruise line's ships and private destinations. The lineup of efforts will vary from Walk for Wishes 5Ks and walkathons to auctions for exclusive experiences and more.

"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."

Royal Caribbean says wishes will come to life with a bigger, bolder getaway specially planned for wish kids and their families. The adventures will include everything from the ultimate experience at the cruise line's top-rated private destination, Perfect Day at CocoCay, including access to the Thrill water park, a private cabana and a high-flying experience on the Up, Up & Away helium balloon. Plus, Wish kids will enjoy VIP treatment from start to finish, with exclusive experiences, complimentary Wi-Fi, private FlowRider sessions and more.
"As we celebrate World Wish Month, we are grateful to partner with Royal Caribbean International and open a sea of new opportunities for us to fulfill our mission of granting life-changing wishes," said Leslie Motter, president and CEO of Make-A-Wish America.
"We know that a wish can chart a new course in these children's lives, and we look forward to having the opportunity to work together to deliver that life-changing impact."
