CARNIVAL Corporation
chairman Micky Arison and his
wife Madeleine have personally
matched the US$250k donation
recently made by the cruise line
to victims of the Louisiana floods.
“Recognising the tremendous
magnitude of this disaster and
the Carnival organisation’s longstanding
partnership with the
state of Louisiana, Madeleine
and I felt strongly in our desire
to provide additional support to
organisations aiding in the flood
relief efforts,” said Arison.
The cruise line is also urging
guests sailing on its two New
Orleans-based cruise ships,
Carnival Triumph and Carnival
Dream, to donate to the cause.
Recipients of the combined
funding from Carnival include the
American Red Cross and Save the
Children.
