Princess Ships deliver supplies, funds for tsunami relief
APIA – When Star Princess and Sun Princess called in Apia, Samoa and Pago Pago, American Samoa last weekend, the ships brought along some much needed relief supplies and more than US$10,000 in donations for the region that was recently hit with a powerful tsunami.
The ships off-loaded pallets of bottled water, sugar, flour, linens and clothing donated by passengers and crew, plus treats of lollies and chocolate for the children.
In addition, in Pago, both ships welcomed Red Cross workers onboard for some relief of their own, with hot showers, use of the ships’ laundries, phone calls home and lunch.
The ship captains informed local officials that the Princess Cruises Community Foundation is donating US$10,000 to the Red Cross for relief efforts in Samoa and American Samoa.
The ships also conducted their own fundraising for the relief efforts, including donations from their Crew Club funds, contributions received from passengers and crew, and money raised from auctions of the ships’ navigational charts used during the cruises.
