Roald Dahl’s ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ is headlining entertainment on Royal Caribbean’s Legend of the Seas this summer.
Royal Caribbean and Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity partnership has brough life onboard the Legend of the Seas. This collaboration is offering guests meaningful ways to support the charity and raise vital funds for specialist Roald Dahl Nurses caring for more than 50,000 seriously ill children and their families across the UK.
It aims to shine a light on the charity’s specialist Roald Dahl Nurses, who provide expert care and practical support to thousands of children with lifelong, complex conditions. Onboard donation opportunities and fundraising moments across Legend’s inaugural European season will help support the charity’s network of more than 250 specialist nurses working across NHS Trusts, delivering coordinated care alongside emotional and financial support to families.
Gerard Nolan, VP & MD, EMEA, at Royal Caribbean, said it’s especially meaningful to partner with Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity to support the families who need it most. “With Roald Dahl’s ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ headlining entertainment on Legend of the Seas, partnering with the charity felt like a natural fit as we debut the newest family holiday in Europe.
“Roald Dahl Nurses provide extraordinary care to families every day, and we’re proud to champion their work through fundraising initiatives and by welcoming members of the nursing community onboard for a well-deserved break.”
Louise Griew, Chief Executive, Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity, highlighted that their Roald Dahl Nurses make a profound difference to the lives of children with complex, lifelong conditions and their families and communities. “We’re delighted to be partnering with Royal Caribbean as Legend of the Seas begins its European journey. This partnership will help raise vital funds to support more families, while also shining a light on the incredible dedication and expertise of our nurses.”
Royal Caribbean will host Roald Dahl Nurses on a special four-night preview sailing on Legend ahead of the ship’s official debut on July 4. Nurses will have the opportunity to experience the family holiday of a lifetime and enjoy the ship’s unrivalled lineup of entertainment, dining and relaxation while taking a well-deserved break from their demanding day-to-day roles.
