HOMEPORT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Empowering Communities through Nonprofit Support
At Carnival, we are committed to strengthening the communities we call home by supporting local nonprofit organizations that share our vision. We focus on organizations that improve the quality of life for residents, support veterans, military families and first responders, provide health and mentoring services to children, and organizations that protect the environment. Through cruise donations, sponsorship of fundraising events and direct charitable contributions, Carnival has supported numerous nonprofits across our homeport communities.
Cruise Donations for a Cause
As part of our commitment to giving back and supporting causes aligned with our core mission, we donate cruises to organizations for fundraising raffles and auctions.
These donations not only help organizations meet their fundraising goals, but also introduce their members and supporters to the joy and excitement of Carnival’s cruise experiences. It is our way of combining fun with goodwill — creating memorable moments while making a meaningful impact.
Nonprofits that provide services in our core areas can request the donation of a Carnival cruise — fill out this form
at least three months in advance of when it will be needed, to allow us to review and process the request.

If you have been on a Carnival cruise, you know there is no feeling like cruising and interacting with our amazing crew! As part of our community engagement efforts, we welcome homeport community leaders and organizations aboard for special events and educational tours that both enlighten and share this feeling of fun and hospitality.
We have held special celebrations marking our milestone anniversaries in homeport cities like New Orleans, Tampa, Port Canaveral and Seattle.
Carnival also hosts ship tours for local universities and other nonprofits that serve youth in our homeport areas. Students hear from ship senior officers and learn about the different roles and career opportunities available in the cruise industry.
If your university or nonprofit serves students in our homeport cities, and would like to request a tour, please fill out this form.
