Carnival Cruise Line’s ship Carnival Horizon visited Ocho Rios, Jamaica, this week, delivering supplies to support Hurricane Melissa relief efforts across the island.

The cruise line dropped off items like bottled water, baby food and diapers, canned goods, cereal and hygiene supplies to Jamaica’s Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management and offloaded with the assistance of the Jamaica Tourism Cares Taskforce.

Jamaican crew members aboard Carnival Horizon assisted with delivering the items.

Carnival Corporation has also partnered with the Miami HEAT and the Micky & Madeleine Arison Family Foundation to donate $1 million to Direct Relief to support recovery efforts.

“Jamaica has long been a beloved destination for Carnival guests thanks in large part to the warmth of its people,” says Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. “We know the strength and resilience of Jamaicans will help get them through this difficult time and we look forward to making our first official visit with guests as soon as government officials say they’re ready. We also proudly have many Jamaican crew members across our fleet and we have been providing support to them as well.”
