MSF Cruise For a Cause®

MSF Cruise For a Cause® CELEBRATES ITS 10TH  YEAR OF CRUISING
ABOARD THE
OASIS OF THE SEAS

The largest and most revolutionary cruise ship in the world. An architectural marvel at sea, spanning 16 decks. Experience the most innovative and imaginative ship yet, Oasis of the Seas - where, for the first time ever, entertainment areas have become neighborhoods at sea.  Find a revolutionary public space combining nature with nautical in the Central Park neighborhood, or old-world charm with a modern twist in the entertaining Boardwalk neighborhood.  Visit the Pool and Sports Zone to explore an entire deck of pools and more.  And don't forget the Youth Zone - where kids can be kids and parents can be worry-free.  With seven distinct onboard neighborhoods, everyone can discover a place for unique experiences.

Now entering its tenth year, the MSF Cruise for a Cause provides an empowering adventure.  Traveling with fellow MS Cruisers, their families, as well as healthcare professionals, and of course, MSF staff, the trip is an unforgettable experience.

With the magnificent sun drenched and exotic Caribbean ports of St Thomas, St. Maarten and Bahamas as our ports of call, the Oasis of the Seas will make our 2011 Cruise for a Cause a dream come true for people with MS.

Some people with MS face unique challenges when traveling.  You may feel that you can no longer travel safely or comfortably. But these hurdles can be overcome, and the MSF Cruise for a Cause is a great place to start. Onboard, courteous, and attentive staff caters to your needs.  Fine food, spectacular entertainment, great shopping, and exciting accessible portside activities are available as well.

On days at sea, the MSF Cruise for a Cause offers a variety of onboard workshops and discussion groups on vital topics of particular interest to people with MS*. Leading MS neurologists and other healthcare professionals present the latest information on MS research and treatments, and offer practical advice and solutions to help you live with MS. In addition, onboard support group meetings serve to motivate and inspire both patients and caregivers.
Those having joined us on previous MSF Cruises have called it a life-changing experience. They learned not just about MS and its issues, but more about themselves as well. For many the "bar has been raised" on what they can do.

Lasting friendships, a warm family atmosphere, exciting ports, lots of fun, and memories to last a lifetime are but a few of the benefits.
