Mermaid Cruise Lines and Community Partnerships
From our land-based offices in the United States, to wherever our ships sail worldwide,
we're committed to helping out at the local level. By recognizing volunteers, making the
wishes of kids come true, offering scholarships and helping preserve the world's oceans,
we strive to be a true partner to our communities.
Florida Points of Light
Since 2000, Mermaid Cruise Lines has been a proud sponsor of the Florida Governor's Points of Light Award program, which recognizes Florida organizations and individuals demonstrating exemplary volunteer service in their community.
Make-A-Wish Foundation: Wishes At Sea
Through our national partnership with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, we are proud to help make dreams come true for children with life-threatening illnesses. Through Wishes at Sea, established in 2007, we commit a certain number of cruise packages to granting wishes each year. We work with local Wish chapters to help create the perfect wish for each child whose desire is to have an unforgettable dream-come-true vacation with his or her family. While onboard, we treat them like royal celebrities.
