Our YTB Travel Network & Carnival Cruising for Charity Carnival's Matching Fund Program
With bookings of 8 staterooms,16 guests or more, Carnival will match (donate) $5 per guest, per day on your group's fundraising efforts: 3 day cruise, $15 per guest; 4 day cruise, $20 per guest; 7 day cruise, $35 per guest, etc.
Example:
" The cost of your 3 day cruise is $399 per guest
" Your nonprofit organization marks up the cost of the cruise by $15 or more (this is your participant's donation)
" You promote the cruise to your group at a cost of $414
Carnival will match up to $15 per guest on a 3 day cruise for a combined $ 30 contribution ($15 from the markup and $15 from Carnival's match.) That's $30 per guest, or $60 per cabin, that your group raises.
Example 2:
" The cost of your 8 day cruise is $899
" Your non profit organization marks up the cost of the cruise by $60 (this is your participant's donation)
" You promote the cruise to your group at a cost of $959
Carnival will match up to $40 per guest on an 8 day cruise for a combined $100 contribution ($60 from the markup and $40 from Carnival's match.) That's $100 per guest, or $200 per cabin! Sell 20 staterooms, earn $4,000; sell 50 staterooms, earn $10,000.
Raise even more money by earning free staterooms.
In addition to our matching funds, you can earn one free stateroom for every 15 staterooms sold. The dollar value of that stateroom will be based on the average value of staterooms sold (excluding miscellaneous charges). Using the 8 day example above, you would earn three free staterooms for every 50 booked. At an average value of $760 per guest, based on double occupancy, you would earn an additional $4,560 ($760 per person x 3 staterooms = $4,560)! This dollar amount can be contributed to your organization. Or you can raise additional funds through raffle ticket sales of "Fun Ship" cruises with these free staterooms being used by the winners.
All amounts used in these examples are for explanatory purposes only. Stateroom prices vary and may change at any time.
