Carnival Corporation & PLC and its affiliated brands are donating more than $7 million to various disaster relief organizations.

The funds, specifically earmarked for hurricane-affected areas in the Gulf Coast, Florida and Mexico, include a $6 million donation from Carnival Corporation & plc and an additional $1 million raised by the employees and guests of its operating companies.

“This year´s hurricane season was the most active in modern history, with several storms causing widespread damage to the southeastern U.S. and Mexico´s Yucatan Peninsula. Even though hurricane season ends, there is still significant damage in these regions and thousands of individuals are in need of assistance. It is our hope that this donation will provide much-needed relief to residents in these affected areas,” said Micky Arison, Carnival Corporation & PLC chairman and CEO.
