SILVERSEA Cruises has become the first cruise company
to join British Airways’ Change for Good appeal.
The charity encourages travelers to donate unused
currency to the United Nations Children’s Fund. Since the appeal was launched
in 1994 it has raised more than $15 million.
Silversea president Bill Smith said: “We are pleased
to be supporting BA in this effort to raise money. Silversea’s itineraries span
the globe and it is only fitting we play our part to contribute to the
improvement of children’s lives in countries throughout the world.”
Guests aboard the Silver Cloud, Silver
Wind, Silver Shadow and Silver Whisper, due for launch in July, will be given
the opportunity to donate unused currency in specially printed UNICEF envelopes
available at each of the ships’ reception desks.
